چکیده
In the presence of organic acids in organic media, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO) reacts with peroxyl radicals at nearly diffusion-controlled rates by proton-coupled electron transfer from the protonated nitroxide.

Evidence for a free radical mechanism of styrene-glutathione conjugate formation catalyzed by prostaglandin H synthase and horseradish peroxidase.
We have proposed, using styrene as a model, a new mechanism for the formation of glutathione conjugates that is independent of epoxide formation but dependent on the oxidation of glutathione to a thiyl radical by peroxidases such as prostaglandin H synthase or horseradish peroxidase. The thiyl radical reacts with styrene to yield a carbon-centered radical which subsequently reacts with molecula...
متن کاملDispiro-1,2,4-trioxane analogues of a prototype dispiro-1,2,4-trioxolane: mechanistic comparators for artemisinin in the context of reaction pathways with iron(II).
Single electron reduction of the 1,2,4-trioxane heterocycle of artemisinin (1) forms primary and secondary carbon-centered radicals. The complex structure of 1 does not lend itself to a satisfactory dissection of the electronic and steric effects that influence the formation and subsequent reaction of these carbon-centered free radicals. To help demarcate these effects, we characterized the rea...
متن کاملProduction of oxygen-centered radicals by neutrophils and macrophages as studied by electron spin resonance (ESR).
Neutrophils and macrophages undergo a respiratory burst and an increase in the activity of the hexose monophosphate pathway in response to particulate or soluble agents. The increase in oxygen consumption was found to be associated with the production of oxygen-centered radicals. The ESR technique of spin trapping showed that besides a superoxide spin adduct, a hydroxyl spin adduct is also prod...
متن کاملChemically induced dynamic electron polarization generated through the interaction between singlet molecular oxygen and nitroxide radicals.
An absorptive chemically induced dynamic electron polarization (CIDEP) was generated by the quenching of singlet oxygen by nitroxide radicals (TEMPO derivatives). The spin polarization decay time of the nitroxide (measured by time-resolved EPR) correlates with the lifetime of singlet oxygen (measured by singlet oxygen phosphorescence spectroscopy). In addition, a deuterium isotope effect on the...
متن کاملFree-radical chemistry of cigarette smoke and its toxicological implications.
Cigarette smoke contains two very different populations of free radicals, one in the tar and one in the gas phase. The tar phase contains several relatively stable free radicals; we have identified the principal radical as a quinone/hydroquinone (Q/QH2) complex held in the tarry matrix. We suggest that this Q/QH2 polymer is an active redox system that is capable of reducing molecular oxygen to ...
