Benzopinacol, biphenyl, and 4-biphenyldiphenylcarbinol are formed in the photolysis of benzophenone in zone-refined benzene of 99.997% purity using degassed solutions and either 313-or 366-nm radiation. The initial quantum yield of benzophenone disappearance was 5.1 (+ 0.8,—1.5) X 10-3. Benzopinacol, biphenyl, and 4-biphenyldiphenylcarbinol had µµ of 2.5 (+ 0.4,—0.9) X 10~ 3, 1.5 (±0.5) X 10~ 3, and 1.0 (±0.5) X10~ 4, respectively. Benzopinacol is apparently formed by the combination of two ketyl radicals. Phenyl radicals, because of low concentration, underwent benzene arylation rather than radical combination reactions. Phenylcyclohexadienyl radical is an intermediate in the formation of biphenyl. It appears also to be an inter-mediate in the formation of 4-biphenyldiphenylcarbinol. The presence of some unidentified products that are stable in oxygen atmosphere is indicated by the uv absorption in the 300-420-nm region.
