P8 TS 8 10.02 kJ/mol ΔG‡= kJ/mol ΔG°= –42.31 P9 Finally, as depicted in Table 9.19 a formyl radical is eliminated from intermediate dibenzofuran-10-carboxaldehyde (P8) to form the end product dibenzofuran (P9). 5. Conclusion The calculated reaction pathway from the phenylperoxy radical (B1) to the furan (B9) presented in this chapter is comparable with the pathway proposed by Merle and Hadad. This reaction pathway is supported by experimental results (cited by Merle and Hadad) where the 2-oxepinoxy radical (B4) was detected using GC-MS. Merle and Hadad had examined a large number of possible formation pathways from the 2-oxepinoxy radical
