A new synthesis of γ-lactones by peroxydisulfate oxidation of isopropylbenzenes is described.Evidence concerning the free-radical mechanism is reported; the intermediate formation of alkyl and benzyl radicals is evidenced by trapping them with quinoxaline.The role of the iron catalyst is discussed.
