The formation of radicals in ..gamma..-irradiated C/sub 5/-C/sub 9/ alkanes, cyclohexane, and isooctane were studied by means of spin traps. The following spin traps were used: 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylnitrosobenzene (BNB), nitrosodurene (ND), C-phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone (phi BN), and tert-nitrosobutane (TNB). The syntheses of the spin traps BNB, ND, phi BN, and TNB, were conducted by known methods. The solutions of the spin traps in the alkanes were kept under a vacuum of 5 x 10/sup -5/ torr and were irradiated at 5/sup 0/C or -40/sup 0/C. The radical adducts of these compounds were identified by EPR spectra. 3 figures.
