Effects of phenolic compounds on reactions involving various organic radicals.
Investigation of effects produced by 26 various phenol and diphenol derivatives, including industrial and natural antioxidants (ionol, bis-phenol 2246, alpha-tocopherol), on final product yields of radiation-induced free-radical processes involving peroxyl, alkyl, alpha-hydroxyalkyl and alpha,beta-dihydroxyalkyl radicals has been performed. Ionol and bis-phenol 2246 have been shown to be more effective than alpha-tocopherol or diphenol derivatives in suppressing hydrocarbon oxidation processes. At the same time, alpha-tocopherol and its water-soluble analogues, as well as diphenol-based substances, are more effective than phenol derivatives in regulating various homolytic processes involving carbon-centered radicals. This fact can be accounted for by taking into consideration the contribution to formation of the final product set and the respective yields made by semiquinone radicals and compounds with quinoid structure arising in the course of homolytic transformations in systems containing diphenol derivatives.
