Using time resolved ESR spectroscopy and photoflash conductivity the uncatalysed, first order decay of 2-hydroxy-propyl-2-peroxyl radicals and the uncatalysed, first order generation of O 2  ·̅  and H+ were measured to have the same rate constants. The formation of O 2  ·̅  and H +  was measured in H 2 O and D 2 O and a kinetic isotope effect of k H /k = D 3.5 was obtained. Comparing the rate constants of the peroxyl radicals derived from methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol it was shown that the rate constant increases with increasing methyl-substitution. In 2-propanol water mixtures the rate constant of the 2-hydroxy-propyl-2-peroxyl radical increases only slightly with increasing polarity of the solvent. The experimental results are in accord with a mechanism which involves a cyclic transition state leading to a concerted elimination of HO 2 · followed by dissociation into H +  and O 2  ·̅ .
