These relatively stable peroxidic compounds were found to rearrange smoothly on being heated at temperatures > 120°C and on photolysis, respectively, through concerted reaction pathways. Photolysis of 9-hydroperoxy-9-phenylxanthene and di(9-phenylxanthen-9-yl) peroxide, respectively, have been shown by EPR spectroscopy to generate 9-phenylxanthenyl radicals which dimerise at low temperatures and reform the free radicals at ambient temperature.Read More
