Abstract

The effect of diethylhydroxylamine and n-hexanethiol on the solution photolysis of several carbonyl compounds was investigated. Diethylhydroxylamine is more efficient as a singlet and triplet quencher than the thiol is. In contrast, n-hexanethiol is more efficient in trapping the 1,4-biradical produced in the photolysis of 5-methyl-2-hexanone. These results are discussed in terms of the relative reactivities of diethylhydroxylamine and n-hexanethiol towards alkyl and alkoxy radicals.
