The radiation-induced oxidation of 2-propanol by hydrogen peroxide in neutral deaerated aqueous solution has been investigated. 2-Propanol is oxidized to acetone, and hydrogen peroxide reduced in stoichiometrically equivalent high yields. The yields are independent of hydrogen peroxide concentration in the range 5 × 10−2 to 10−3 M and linearly dependent on alcohol concentration in the range 0.13 to 1.05 M. The reaction yields increased with decreasing dose rate.The results are explained by a chain mechanism in which initiation occurs via H-atom abstraction from 2-propanol to form either (CH3)2ĊOH (1) or CH3 CHOH ĊH2 (2). 1 reacts with H2O2 in a chain propagating reaction[Formula: see text]2 may abstract the α hydrogen from the parent alcohol[Formula: see text]or undergo bimolecular termination. A lower limit of 53 ± 101mole−1 s−1 is estimated for the rate constant for this radical conversion reaction.

Under γ-irradiation, aqueous solutions of ethylene glycol containing hydrogen peroxide form acetaldehyde as a major product via a free-radical chain rearrangement. The yield of acetaldehyde is essentially unchanged when hydrogen peroxide is replaced by N2O or HClO4. A mechanism is proposed in which the glycol radical, ĊOHCH2OH, rearranges to the acetaldehyde precursor, ĊH2CHO, followed by the hydrogen atom transfer reaction;[Formula: see text]thus propagating a chain reaction.2The rearrangement is also induced by the photo-dissociation of H2O2 in aqueous solutions of ethylene glycol.
