Photolysis of Acetic Anhydride

Abstract: The photolysis of acetic anhydride has been studied using a hot mercury arc at temperatures from 60° to 160°C by analysis of the gaseous products. CO and C2H6 are produced at equal rates which are one-half the rate of production of CO2. At 60°C, CO production is delayed initially but in time reaches the same rate as C2H6. Using acetone as actinometer, the quantum yield of CO2 is two, of CO and C2H6, unity. The decomposition of acetic anhydride can be photosensitized by acetone. Mass-spectral analysis of the li… Show more
