Sv. Nesterov, INFLUENCE OF HETEROATOM NATURE ON THE PATHS OF FORMATION OF INTERMEDIATES IN GAMMA-IRRADIATED CYCLIC ETHERS AT 77 K, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 230(1-2), 1998, pp. 273-276
Gamma-irradiated at 77 K 1,4-dioxane and morpholine have been studied
by ESR-spectroscopy. C-O bond dissociation is the main process in the
gamma-radiolysis of 1,4-dioxane and a significant contribution of -CH-
CH=O radicals to the experimental spectrum is observed. Both H-atom ab
straction and the cleavage of the ring seems to occur at low temperatu
re gamma-radiolysis of morpholine. The paths of formation of intermedi
ates in cyclic ethers gamma-irradiated at 77 K are discussed.
