Abstract
The reactions of methylene radicals with acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde have been studied over the temperature range 48–118 °C and over a range of pressures of aldehyde and carbon dioxide. From acetaldehyde, the main products were carbon monoxide, methane, ethane, and acetone, with small amounts of ethylene at low pressures of acetaldehyde. With carbon dioxide present, small amounts of propylene oxide were formed, but propionaldehyde was not observed. The main products from the reaction with propionaldehyde were carbon monoxide, methane, ethane, and ethylene, with small amounts of methyl ethyl ketone, butene oxide, and isobutyraldehyde. The relation of the results to the relative rates and mode of attack of methylene on the various bonds is discussed.
