This article provides evidences that hydride transfer is an important primary step in ozone reactions of formate and tertiary butanol in aqueous media. In both systems, one argument is the fact that the free hydroxyl radical yields are relative low ((40 +/- 4)% and (7 +/- 0.8)% for formate and tertiary butanol, respectively). Another hint is the high exergonicity of these reactions: Delta G = -249 kJ mol(-1) for formate/ozone system and Delta G = -114 kJ mol(-1) for hydride transfer followed by a methyl shift in the reaction between tertiary butanol and ozone. In addition, the main product of tertiary butanol ozonolysis is butan-2-one [(89 +/- 3)%], a compound that is formed only via hydride transfer. For the reaction of ozone with formate an activation energy of (54.6 +/- 1.2) kJ mol(-1) and a pre-exponential term of (2.5 +/- 1.2) x 10(11) were determined (in the presence of tertiary butanol as (OH)-O-center dot scavenger) whereas for tertiary butanol the two activation parameters were (68.7 +/- 1.9) kJ mol(-1) and (2.0 +/- 1.5) x 10(9), respectively.
