SOME ASPECTS OF THE RADIATION CHEMISTRY OF LIQUID ALIPHATIC CARBOXYLIC ACIDS

Journal Article · · Journal of Physical Chemistry (U.S.)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1021/j150582a015· OSTI ID:4189786
The decomposition of ten aliphatic carboxylic acids by gamma -radiation was studied with particular reference to their relative rates of decarboxylation. The effects of structural variation, added iodine, and temperature were investigated as well as the distribution of free radicals for one of the acids as determined by radio-iodine trapping techniques. It is suggested that the mechanism of decarhoxylation involves the intermediate formation of free alkyl and carboxyl radicals. (auth)
