Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to a process for the preparation of an alkoxyalkanoic acid of the formula RO(CH2CHR'O)n CH2CO2 wherein R is an alkyl group of from 1 to 22 carbon atoms, R' is hydrogen or methyl or mixtures thereof (on the individual molecule) and n is an integer of from 1 to 12, or a salt thereof, which process comprises oxidizing the corresponding alkoxyalkanol using an oxidant in the presence of a solubilized stable free radical nitroxide except for di-tertiary nitroxides.
