Free Radicals from Benzyl Hyponitrite

The Simplest Free Radicals

INTRODUCTION Every lexicographer knows that the meaning of a word is time dependent, and, in favour of the argument that it is also dependent on latitude and longitude, the perverse amonst us would cite Oscar Wilde's dictum, "England and America are two countries separated by a common language". Certainly the word radical has changed its meaning for chemits who originally thought of it as part ...

Free radicals in carcinogenesis.

It has become clear since the workshop that free radicals are implicated not only in the promotion phase of carcinogenesis but during initiation as well. Since the workshop, however, despite intriguing trapping studies with Superoxide disimilase. catalase, and Cu-DIPS [copper(II)(3,5-diisopropylsalicylate)2] and generation of OJ using xanthine oxidase, little substantive evidence has been obtai...

Free Radicals in Ayurveda

There has been considerable interest in free radicals and their control by extracts of medicinal herbs. This article reviews the advances made in this frontier area of research.

Stabilities and Spin Distributions of Benzannulated Benzyl Radicals.

The effects have been studied of mono- and dibenzannulation of a benzyl radical with hybrid density functional theory (B3LYP) and quadratic configuration interaction theory (QCISD). Bond dissociation energies and enthalpies are reported that were determined at the common level QCISD/6-311G**//B3LYP/6-31G* for the benzylic C-H bonds of toluene 1H, the monobenzannulated polycyclic aromatic hydroc...
