Abstract

The free-radical intermediates and the stable products formed on one-electron oxidation of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in aqueous solution were investigated. The dibromine radical anion generated radiolytically reacted with IAA to yield the IAA radical cation. In acid solution, the latter decays by a first-order process (k= 1.8 x lo4 sl) to yield carbon dioxide and the skatole radical. At pH 7 it deprotonates (pKa= 5.09 f 0.02), giving the indolyl radical, ...
