METHOD OF PRODUCING HYDROXYL RADICALS FOR CHEMICAL REACTIONS

摘要

A method of reacting chemicals comprising the exposure of the reactants to ultrasound and electrochemical energies in the presence of a metal or metal salt and hydrogen peroxide. HO. radicals are efficiently formed and react wi th a carbon-based reactant to form a carbon radical which then reacts with othe r reactants or may dimerize. The invention regenerates the metal ions and may be performed using no special facilities. Increased product yield was achieved for a number of hydroxylation reactions.
