The flash photolyses of azo‐ n ‐propane and azoisopropane in the presence of oxygen have been studied by kinetic spectroscopy. The transient absorption spectra observed in the region of 210–290 nm are assigned to the n ‐propylperoxy and isopropylperoxy radicals. For the n ‐propylperoxy radical, ε max = 1148 ± 29 L/mol cm at 242.5 nm and for the isopropylperoxy radical, ε max = 1273 ± 75 L/mol cm at 240 nm. The rate constants for the mutual reactions (7) 2RO 2 · → products were measured to be k 7 = (2.0 ± 0.2) X 10 8 L/mol s for the n ‐propylperoxy radical and k 7 = (7.8 ± 2.2) X 10 5 L/mol s for the isopropylperoxy radical.
