The bimolecular self-reaction of benzophenone oxide was investigated by optical modulation spectroscopy and by product studies. The transient decayed to give benzophenone and oxygen and the rate constants for its disappearance, 2k, are described by the expression log (2k) = (9.1 +/- 0.2) - (1.8 +/- 0.3)/theta where theta = 2.30RT kcal mol/sup -1/. The significance of these parameters is discussed in terms of the orientational requirements for self-reaction. Benzophenone oxide was found to react with octanal with a rate constant 2.0 x 10/sup 4/ M/sup -1/ s/sup -1/.
