Abstract: Active radicals formed in the photochemical hydrogen abstraction between alcohol and benzophenone have been studied with the combination of ESR spectroscopy and spin trapping technique. The results show that: 1. For n-CnH2n+1OH (n=1, 2,…8), benzophenone abstrats hydrogen from the α-C of alcohol to form n-Cn-1 H2n-1 CHOH radicals. 2. For (CH3)2CH(CH2)nOH (n=0, 1,2), benzophenone abstracts hydrogen fromtertiary carbon of alcohol to form (CH3)2C(CH2)nOH radicals. 3. For RCH2OH (R=CH2=CH, C6H5), benzophenone abstracts hydrogen from α-Cof RCH2OH to form RCHOH.
