Formation of Radical Anions and Not Deprotonation Starts the Reaction of γ-Butyrolactone with Potassium Anions

A mechanism is proposed for the reaction of γ-butyrolactone with the potassium anion as a two-electron-transfer reagent. Potassium hydride and potassium 4-potassiobutyrate are formed in this process as intermediates. These compounds deprotonate γ-butyrolactone. Potassium lactone enolate, potassium b...

Zusammenfassung:	A mechanism is proposed for the reaction of γ-butyrolactone with the potassium anion as a two-electron-transfer reagent. Potassium hydride and potassium 4-potassiobutyrate are formed in this process as intermediates. These compounds deprotonate γ-butyrolactone. Potassium lactone enolate, potassium butyrate, and hydrogen are the final reaction products.
