Abstract

It has been previously shown that molybdenum trioxide is a very efficient agent for removing hydrogen atoms and alkyl radicals from a reaction system. The nature of this removal process has been investigated for ethyl radicals produced by the addition of a hydrogen atom to ethylene. It is shown that the products of reaction with the oxide include ethyl alcohol and diethyl ether and the probable mode of formation of these two compounds is discussed.
