The Photolysis of Isobutyl Disulfide in Cumene1

“…With 0.52 M disulfide and a Variac setting of 70, steady state mercaptan concentration is reached in under 24 hours. Runs 64-67, irradiated 22 hours, contained 36.7 g. of high boiling residue. In contrast, runs 68-71, irradiated an average of 47 hours, contained 50.1 g., an increase of almost 50%.…”
