It is shown that hydroxylation of saturated hydrocarbons by hydrogen peroxide occurs under the influence of light.This reaction has been investigated on acyclic, monocyclic and bicyclic hydrocarbons.These reactions were also studied using performic acid as the source of hydroxyl radicals and results compared with those obtained with peracetic acid.As expected, the preferred attack was on tertiary centres, followed by secondary and then primary.
