Enhanced phenol yield from radiation-induced decomposition of chlorophenols in deaerated water by addition of cyclodextrin and glucose

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1996.273

The yield of phenol, identified as the main product, was enhanced remarkably by addition of cyclodextrins (CDs) and glucose. The effect was found to increase with cavity dimensions. It was suggested that inclusion accelerates hydrogen atom abstraction by the incorporated intermediate radicals.
