MECHANISM OF FORMATION OF FORMALDEHYDE IN THE FLASH PHOTOLYSIS OF METHYL FORMATE

S. L. N. G. Krishnamachari

Abstract

Abstract—From flash photolyses of methyl formate (HCOOCH3), d‐methyl formate (DCOOCH3), methyl formate‐d3 (HCOOCD3) and fully ***deuterated methyl formate (DCOOCD3) in the vapour phase at room temperature, the relative efficiencies of the formyl and methoxyl radicals in producing formaldehyde have been determined.
