(Chemical Equation Presented) Chemical and biochemical significance of a long-forgotten 19th century observation: The hydrocarbon production from quaternary glutarimides on neutralization in water is the consequence of formation of alkyl radicals, which means that it is possible to generate alkyl radicals under very mild conditions. Oxygen trapping competes with hydrogen abstraction (see scheme).
