The technique based on monitoring oxygen, consumption was applied to test 18 polyphenols (PP) and model phenolics as a chain-breaking antioxidant during the oxidation of styrene initiated by 2,2′-azobis(2,4- dimethylvaleronitril) at 37°C. The chain-breaking capability of PP was characterized by two parameters: the rate constant k1 for the reaction of antioxidants with the peroxy radical produced from styrene and the stoichiometric coefficient of inhibition, f, which shows how many kinetic chains are terminated by one molecule of PP. Rate constants k1 × 105 (in M-1 s-1) were found to be 10 (catechol), 27 (pyrogallol), 34 (3,6-di-tert-Bucatechol), 4.3 (protocatechic acid), 12 (gallic acid), 15 (caffeic acid), 1 increases when going from one to two and three adjacent O-H groups in a benzene ring (catechol and pyrogallol derivatives, respectively). At the same time, two O-H. groups in metaposition in a A-ring of flavonoids actually do not participate in the inhibition. For the majority of PP, f is near to 2 independent of the number of OH groups. The correlation of k1 with the structure of PP and the O-H bond dissociation enthalpy has been discussed.

The rate constants for reversible electron transfer between a series of substituted phenolate ions and anilines and various substituted phenoxyl or anilino radicals in aqueous solution were measured by observing the formation or depletion of the radicals involved.Nonequilibrium concentrations of the radicals were produced in the presence of the corresponding phenols or anilines by using the pulse radiolysis technique.The relaxation of the system to equilibrium was monitored by optical detection methods.From the equilibrium constants for one-electron transfer, the one-electron redox potentials (E2) for 38 phenolic or anilino type compounds were determined, many of which are natural products.The redox potentials are strongly influenced by electron-donating or -withdrawing substituents at the aromatic system.
