The radiation-induced oxidation of 2-propanol to acetone by N2O in alkaline aqueous solution proceeds via a free radical chain mechanism independent of pH above 12.5. The results are explained by abstraction of H from 2-propanol by O− at both the α and β positions (85% α attack). Chain propagation is by reaction of the α radical anion, (CH3)2ĊO−, with N2O with a rate constant of (3.8 ± 0.4) × 104 M−1 s−1 and by reaction of the β radical, ĊH2(CH3)CHOH, with 2-propanol to give the α radical with a rate constant of 430 ± 30 M−1 s−1.The conclusions are supported by the demonstration of kinetic isotope effects for selectively deuterated alcohols.

By using selectively deuterated alcohols it is demonstrated that abstractions from both α and β positions of 2-propanol and ethanol contribute to the overall mechanism for the radiation-induced chain oxidation of these alcohols by hydrogen peroxide. Kinetic isotope effects are measured for abstraction of H by OH from 2-propanol and ethanol at both α and β positions and for the H atom transfer reaction from the alcohol to the β radical. The chain oxidation of methanol shows no primary kinetic isotope effect on substitution of CD3OH.
