Abstract
The reaction of the aliphatic free radical *CH(CH3)CH(OH)CH3 (formed by *OH addition to cis-/trans-2-butene or by hydrogen abstraction from 2-butanol by *OH free radicals) with chromous ions in aqueous solutions was investigated. The radical reacts with Cr are also reported; the results indicate that methyl substituents considerably affect the rate of β-elimination reactions.
