The irradiation of air-free liquid methyl acetate at ambient temperatures yields six gaseous and seventeen liquid products. A number of radical intermediates are proposed to account for the observations. All the bonds in methyl acetate except the carbonyl double bend appeared to be broken. The effects of "radical scavengers" (diphenylpicrylhydrazyl, diphenylpicrylhydrazine, and benzoquinone) on gas yields are examined. (auth)
