Abstract

Serious interest in the radiation-chemical carboxylation of the indole—serine system is caused by the prospects for its use in the production of the essential amino acid tryptophan. In this work, the effect of charge scavengers—biphenyl and hydrogen peroxide—on the kinetics of radiolysis of this system has been studied. It has been found that the solvated electron plays a determining role in the mechanism of tryptophan formation.
