It also covers non-chain radical reactions that produce carbon-carbon bonds like the pinacol, McMurry, and Hoffmann-Loeffler-Freytag reactions.
Acids in which there are two carboxyl groups separated by a chain of more than five carbon atoms (n>5) for the most part have unexceptional properties, and the carboxyl groups behave more or less ind...Acids in which there are two carboxyl groups separated by a chain of more than five carbon atoms (n>5) for the most part have unexceptional properties, and the carboxyl groups behave more or less independently of one another. However, when the carboxyl groups are closer together the possibilities for interaction increase; we shall be interested primarily in such acids.
