Abstract
Pulse radiolytic studies of α-tocopherol (αTH) oxidation-reduction processes were carried out with low doses (5 Gy) of high-energy electrons in O2−, N2−, and air-saturated ethanolic solutions. Depending on the concentration of oxygen in solution, two different radicals, A· and B·, were observed. The first, A·, was obtained under N2 and results from aTH reaction with solvated electron (kaTH+csolv− = 3.4 × 108 mol−1 liter s−1) and with H3C-ĊH-OH, (R·) (kaTH + R· = 5 × 105 mol−1 liter s−1). B·, observed under O2, is produced by αTH reaction with RO2 peroxyl radicals (kaTH + RO2. = 9.5 × 104 mol−1 liter s−1).
