Abstract

During the oxidative degradation of 2,4-dimethylaniline (2,4-xylidine) by means of the H 2 O 2 /UV method, a series of hydroxylated aromatic amines are formed, this result confirming the role of the hydroxyl radical as an initiator of the oxidative chain reaction. Thermal or photochemically enhanced Fenton reactions in the presence of 2,4-dimethylaniline (2,4-xylidine) yield primarily 2,4-dimethylphenol as an intermediate product, the genesis of which may only be explained by an electron transfer mechanism. Experimental evidence for such a mechanism is presented, and values for the quantum yields of the photochemically enhanced reduction of iron(III) to iron(II) in aqueous solutions of 2,4-xylidine are given.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Fenton chemistry is not straightforward and is performed through numerous reactions depending on active intermediates such as [FeIVO]2+ and hydroxyl radicals.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
