The Formation of Aromatic Hydrocarbons at High Temperatures. XVI. The Pyrolysis of (1-14C]Tetralin

Abstract
The pyrolysis of [1-14C]tetralin at 700 �C has given a tar from which 21 compounds (or their derivatives) have been isolated in sufficient quantity and purity for radiochemical analysis. The mechanisms for their formation are discussed with reference to the number of labelled carbon atoms found.
