Abstract
Abstract The γ-radiolysis of a cyclohexene–dinitrogen oxide mixture in the liquid phase at −18 °C has been studied and the results compared with that of the radiolysis of a cyclohexene–carbon dioxide mixture in the liquid phase.5) The oxidation reaction initiated by oxygen atoms produced in the direct radiolysis of dinitrogen oxide or carbon dioxide is common for both solutions, the products being cyclohexene oxide, cylohexanone, and cyclopentanecarbaldehyde. In the dinitrogen oxide solution, however, two other oxidation processes have to be considered in order to interpret the material balance of products and the formation of other oxygenated compounds: cyclohexanol, 2-cyclohexenol, and 2-cyclohexenone. A possible reaction mechanism is discussed.
