Abstract
During the oxidative degradation of 2,4-dimethylaniline (2,4-xylidine) by means of the H2O2/UV method, a series of hydroxylated aromatic amines are formed, this result confirming the role of the hydroxyl radical as an initiator of the oxidative chain reaction. Thermal or photochemically enhanced Fenton reactions in the presence of 2,4-dimethylaniline (2,4-xylidine) yield primarily 2,4-dimethylphenol as an intermediate product, the genesis of which may only be explained by an electron transfer mechanism. Experimental evidence for such a mechanism is presented, and values for the quantum yields of the photochemically enhanced reduction of iron(III) to iron(II) in aqueous solutions of 2,4-xylidine are given.
