Abstract

Laser flash photolysis and competitive techniques have been employed to study the reactions of α-tocopherol with various radicals and ketone triplets in solution. For example benzophenone triplets abstract hydrogen with rate constants of 5.1×10 9 and 3.7×10 9 M -1 s -1 in benzene and benzene/1.3 M methanol. Similar near-diffusion-controlled values were obtained for several other ketone triplets, as well as tert-butoxyl and 4-methoxybenzoyloxyl radicals. Deuterium lunetic isotope effects are frequently very small, reflecting the expected lack of selectivity of fast reactions
