Abstract Photolysis of solutions of benzyl acetate in CD3OD has been studied. As has been established based on the effects of CIDNP and the yields of products, decomposition of the starting compound occurs from both excited singlet and triplet electronic states. The contributions of homolysis and solvolysis to the overall photochemical process have been measured, and the lifetimes of the acetoxy radicals formed have been evaluated. Toluene-d has been shown to be formed mostly by disproportionation of benzyl radicals with hydroxymethyl radicals derived from the solvent molecules.
