Abstract
THE following reactions probably occur when aqueous ethanol is irradiated with X- or γ-rays1: If a second solute is introduced into this system in a much lower concentration than the ethanol, then unless reactions 2 and 3 are very slow, the second solute will not be affected by the free radicals formed in the primary act, but will be exposed instead to the action of free hydroxyethyl radicals. Riboflavin has been subjected to the action of such radicals.
