To clarify the mechanism of radiolytic transformations in alcoholic systems, information is required on the kinetics of reactions of solvated electrons with alcohols and their principal radiolysis products: alkoxonium ions and carbonyl compounds. We comparatively measured the kinetics of reactions in methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, and 1-butanol by a pulsed radiolysis method. We used a rapid action spectrophotometric apparatus for a nanosecond pulsed radiolysis a microsecond pulsed radiolysis apparatus.
