Abstract
The progressive formation of products in the combustion of benzene and its monoalkyl derivatives has been studied by analytical methods, and the characteristic features of the isothermal reactions at various temperatures have been established. A cool-flame reaction of
n
-propylbenzene has also been investigated, and by comparison with corresponding isothermal combustions, it is concluded that the propagation of cool-flames is conditioned by the accumulation of a phenylalkyl hydroperoxide. The results are interpreted in the light of the theory of the two-stage process, and a schematic mechanism for the main combustion reaction is outlined. This comprises degradation of the side-chain (if present) and rupture of the benzene nucleus, followed by rapid degradation of the higher aliphatic aldehyde thus formed, yielding finally formaldehyde and the ultimate combustion products CO
