Comment on 'The phototransformation of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid under KrCl and XeBr excilamps irradiation in water [Tchaikovskaya et al., J. Photochem. Photobiol. A: Chem. 228 (2012) 8-14]'

摘要

In their article, Tchaikovskaya et al. [1] investigate the photochemistry of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) in distilled water at 222 nm and 283 nm irradiation wavelengths. In Fig. 5 from Ref. [1 ], the authors propose a "pathway for the formation of 2,5-dihydroxy-3-methyl benzaldehyde."
