ResumoA number of aromatic alcohols, aldehydes and ketones were found in organic concentrates obtained by liquid-solid adsorption from the waters of Hamilton Harbour, Bermuda. The compounds were characterized and identified using authentic reference materials by their mass spectra and relative retention indices. The origins of the aromatic alcohols, aldehydes and ketones, theoretically deduced from the results of earlier model experiments involving the sensitized photo-oxidation of alkylbenzenes, were demonstrated to be gasoline components. Sensitized photooxidation of a seawater solution of gasoline yielded oxidation products identical to those found in the water of Hamilton Harbour.
