Peroxy radical reactivities in the cooxidation of ethylbenzene and substituted 3‐phenylindans

Abstract The rate constants of peroxy radical recombination in the oxidation of 1‐methyl‐3‐phenylindan, 1,3‐dimethyl‐3‐phenylindan, and 1,1‐dimethyl‐3‐phenylindan were measured using the nonstationary‐state technique. A cooxidation method was applied to obtain the reactivities of these compounds with respect to α‐phenylethyl peroxy radicals.
