Irradiation of terephthalophenone in isopropyl alcohol

Open publisher page 8 citations

Abstract

Abstract Irradiation of terephthalophenone in isopropyl alcohol gave a bright yellow‐colored intermediate which decayed rather rapidly. The products were complex and depended upon the mode of irradiation. They ranged from a mixed polymer I to a dimer II. I consisted of about 5 terephthalophenone units capped with hydrogen or isopropyl alcohol radicals or terminated by cyclization. II, the dimer, was capped by hydrogen atoms.
