2, 4-dichloropentane irradiated in a Cobalt-60 source has been studied by gas chromatograph, IR-spectrometer, UV-visible spectrometer and nuclear magnetic resonance.
More than four new substances were detected when 2, 4-dichloropentane was irradiated to 20Mrad. Free radicals produced were unstable at room temperature resulting in the formation of 1, 3-pentadiene, a conjugated compound, of which quantity increased as the dose rate increased.
The absorption peak of 2, 4-dichloropentane occuring at 240㎜ seems to indicate that 2, 4-dichloropentane is partially hydrogen-bonded.
