The products formed in the irradiation of liquid isopropyl acetate and isopropenyl acetate with helium ions have been studied at room temperature and at 80 deg . The reduced products are formed in lower yield in isopropenyl acetate than in isopropyl acetate by a factor of about three. A factor of thirty higher polymer'' yield from isopropenyl acetate indicates that radicals which in isopropyl acetate are used for reduced product production, are used for polymer production in isopropenyl acetate by addition to the double bond. A discussion of possible reaction mechanisms for various products is given.
