Temperature dependent solvent effects have been investigated on the Norrish Type II reaction of 1-phenylpentan-1-one and its p-methyl derivative. Efficiencies of the photoreaction were studied in terms of solvent polarity and base addition as a function of temperature. Such a small structure change as the p-methyl substitution in 1-phenylpentan-1-one altered the temperature dependent photoreactivity in presence of weak bases. The experimental results suggest that the hydrogen bonding between the Type II biradical intermediate OH group and the solvent is weaker for 1-(4-methylphenyl)pentan-1-one than that for 1-phenylpentan-1-one at 20 °C but the interactions probably vanish in both cases at 80 °C.

The gas-phase decomposition of 2,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol into 2,3-dimethylbut-1-ene, 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene, and water, catalysed by hydrogen bromide at 303-400�, is described. The rate is first-order in each reactant and the Arrhenius equation k2 = 1011.88 exp(-26490/RT) sec-l ml mole-1 is followed. The olefins appear to be in their equilibrium proportions. The effects of substitutions in the alcohol at Cα and Cβ on the rate are discussed.
