Abstract
A pair of carbohydrate model compounds, methyl β-d-glucopyranoside (MGP) and a deuterated MGP labeled at each C-H bond, was reacted with active oxygen species (AOS) generated from reactions between O2 and a co-existing phenolic compound, 2,4,6-trimethylphenol (TMPh) or 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol (vanillyl alcohol, Valc), under O2 delignification conditions. The pair were also reacted with O• generated in the alkaline H2O2 treatment with the addition of FeCl3. Clear kinetic isotope effects were observed only in the reactions of two pairs using the deuterated MGPs labeled at the anomeric and C-2 positions in this system. These results suggest that at least a specific AOS is generated only in this system and that a major AOS in the O2-Valc system is highly reactive O•. It is also suggested that the AOS specifically generated only in this system is a peroxyl radical derived by the combination reaction between the TMPh phenoxyl radical and O2.
