Reaction of diphenylcarbene with oxygen: a laser flash photolysis study

Abstract

Diphenylcarbene reacts with oxygen with a rate constant of 5 × 10 9 M −1 s −1 in acetonitrile at 300 K. The reaction leads to an intermediate which absorbs strongly at ~410 nm, believed to be the carbonyl oxide, Ph 2 COO.
