Abstract

A quantitative comparison of lead tetraacetate oxidation of ethylenic alcohols (4-penten-l-ol, 5-hexen-1-ol, 2-allyloxyethanol) with photolysis of the corresponding nitrites suggests that either free radical or ionic (or even concerted) pathways are involved in the former reactions, depending on experimental conditions. An ESR study of these oxidation reactions supports the preceding conclusions in each case.
