Abstract

1. The decomposition of peroxydiglutaric acid in aqueous solution under the influence of FeSO4 proceeds by the one-electron transfer mechanism, and makes it possible to selectively generate 3-carboxypropyl radicals. 2. The 3-carboxypropyl radicals that are formed in this system are converted into products by three directions: they are cyclized toγ-butyrolactone, dimerized to suberic acid, and they cleave hydrogen to give butyric acid. 3. Water cannot serve as a hydrogen donor for the 3-carboxypropyl radicals; organic compounds function as the substrate here.
