Infrared-laser-induced organic reactions. Technical progress report

Description

Experiments of two types have been conducted. In the first, competition among activation, deactivation, and unimolecular chemical reaction in laser-irradiated organic vapors were investigated. The following compounds were studied: vinycyclopropane; bicyclopropyl and bicyclopropyl-d4; diethylcarbonate-d5. As an outgrowth of these experiments, single photon vibrational overtone excitation of t-butyl hydroperoxide was initiated. In the second phase of this program, infrared laser activation of mechanistically more complex reactions were studied. These were laser-induced decomposition of 2-propanol catalyzed by CuO, and laser-induced decomposition of oxetane. Results are discussed
