Abstract
A series of saturated and unsaturated acyl radicals, RĊO, have been generated in fluid solution, principally by the photolysis of di-t-butyl peroxide in the presence of the corresponding aldehyde. Most of the acyl radicals show well-resolved hyperfine splittings, and the values of a(Hβ) correlate with the n.m.r. coupling constants 3J(CHCHO) in the parent aldehyde. It is concluded that the acyl radicals and the corresponding aldehydes have similar structures.Keywords
