Oxidation of ethylene glycol and related compounds by Ag(II) has been investigated.Complexation of these substrates by Ag(II) precedes their oxidation.Oxidation occurs through electron transfer from an OH group to the Ag(II) within the complex resulting in the formation of alkoxyl-type radicals.The radicals thus formed undergo β-scission to give cleavage products.For ethylene glycol a complexation rate 1.3E6 M-1s-1 and oxidation rate ca. 3E3 s-1 were observed.A general trend for the type of the substrates which would undergo C-C bond scission by Ag(II) is discussed.
