Abstract
The effect of ultrasound on the dimerization of pivalic acid using Fen ton's reagent to generate hydroxyl radicals was investigated. The resu lts of varying several experimental conditions were analysed using sta tistical techniques. Yields of tetramethyladipic acid depend greatly o n the gas saturating the solution. For nitrogen, the optimal combinati on is 0.17 equivalents of Fenton's reagent, high dilution and no ultra sound.
