Zusammenfassung: | Rate constants, , for hydrogen atom abstraction from 13 hindered and nonhindered phenols by the diphenylpicrylhydrazyl radical, dpph •, have been determined in n-heptane and a number of alcoholic and nonalcoholic, hydrogen-bond accepting solvents. Abnormally enhanced values of have been observed in alcohols. It is proposed that this is due to partial ionization of the phenols and a very fast electron transfer from phenoxide anion to dpph •. The popular assessment of the antioxidant activities of phenols with dpph • in alcohol solvents will generally lead to an overestimation of their activities. |
