The room temperature photoinduced reactivity of liquid ethanol has been studied as a function of pressure up to 1.5 GPa by IT cans of a diamond anvil cell. Exploiting the dissociative character of the lowest electronic excited states, re ached through two-photon absorption of near-UV photons (350 nm), irreversible reactive processes have been triggered in the pure system. The active species are radicals forming along two main dissociation channels involving the split of C-O and O-H bonds. The characterization of the reaction products has been performed by in situ FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. At pressures of a few megapascals, molecular hydrogen is the main reaction product, an important issue in the framework of environmentally friendly synthesis of this energetic vector. In the gigapascal range, the main products are ethane, 2-butanol, 2,3-butanediol. 1,1-diethoxyethane, and sonic carbonylic compounds. The relative amount of these species changes with pressure reflecting the nature of the radicals formed in the photodissociation process. As the pressure increases, the processes requiring a greater molecularity are favored, whereas those requiring internal rearrangements are inhibited. Disproportion products like CH4, H2O, and CO2 increase when the amount of ethanol decreases due to the reaction, becoming the main products only when ethanol is exhausted.
