19. As a matter of comparison, after a 30 s irradiation, a slightly higher amount of ketone was observed when the reaction was carried out in basic solution (45%, with respect to the starting arylalkanol 3, at pH = 9.5 as compared to 37% at pH = 3.5).

21. 8 (see, for example, Figure 2) were thus obtained by subtraction of the absorption due to this species recorded in the 380-430-nm region. No additional attempt was made to identify this species.

27. .+ at pH = 3.5 was observed to be influenced by the chemical radiation dose or by the laser intensity (i.e., by the concentration of radicals in solution), the slightly higher value measured when the LFP technique was employed may reflect the fact that relatively lower radical concentrations could be obtained in the PR experiments as compared to the LFP ones.

42. r.. The observation that this absorption is only slightly affected by oxygen is in line with this assignment, as only the decay of the rearranged carbon-centered radical, formed in smaller amounts as compared to 4, 4′- dimethoxybenzophenone, is affected by oxygen.
