1. The kinetics of the accumulation of the photooxidation products of cyclohexane have studied, and a radical mechanism for their formation has been proposed. The effective rate constant for the recombination of peroxide radicals and their extinction coefficient have been measured. 2. The contribution of the disproportionation of peroxycyclohexyl radicals to the overall process of the destruction of the peroxide radicals amounts to {sine wave}30%. It has been postulated that one of the main paths for the formation of peroxide radicals other than peroxycyclohexyl radicals is the isomerization of the cyclohexoxy radical with cleavage of the C-C bond. 1981 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
