N2  - The kinetics and mechanism of the CH3+C6H5O reaction have been examined by means of the RRKM theory and kinetic modelling . Both the high temperature shock tube data for the production of cresols and the low temperature branching ratios (for production of cresols against methylcyclohexadienones , CH3C6H5O) derived from Mulcahy and Williams's data1 on the pyrolysis of di -t-butyl peroxide and phenol mixtures could be reasonably accounted for by the mechanism:            CH3+C6H5O &#8594; CH3C6H5O &#8594; o- and p-CH3C6H4OH+M&#8594; CH3C6H5OThe energy barrier for the thermal isomerization of CH3C6H5O to cresols was estimated to be ~ 132 kJ mol-1.
