Comments: The main products of the 185 nm photolysis of liquid methyl n-propyl ether (quantum yields in parentheses) are n-propanol (0.70), 
methane (0.29), sec-butyl methyl ether (0.20), methanol (0.16), propionaldehyde (0.13), 3,4-dimethoxyhexane (0.09), ethane (0.08), and 
ethyl n-propyl ether (0.08). The quantum yields of further 24 minor products have been measured.
