| Title | Free Radical Induced Oxidation of Neutral Aqueous Solutions of D-Glucose in the Presence of Oxygen -a Non-Chain Process  | ||
| Abstract | Oxygenated 1 M aqueous solutions of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF) or D-glucose were y-irradiated, and G(total peroxide) was determined as a function of dose rate and temperature. Whereas MTHF was oxidized by a chain process, D-glucose was not. The peroxyl radicals derived from D-glucose rapidly eliminate H02". At natural pH H02' (pK = 4.75) is largely deprotonated. O2— does not propagate a chain. | ||
