Fluorinated radicals in water are shown to enable a useful array of synthetic organic transformations, reflecting these intermediates' distinct behavior in water or aqueous media. The enhanced reactivities of perfluroalkyl ...

An application of the topological electron localization function (ELF) analysis of free radical systems is presented. A separation of the ELF function into its α-spin and β-spin contributions has been performed. Methyl and ...

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy detects the presence of radicals of biological interest, such as ascorbyl radical (A•) and lipid radicals. A• is easily detectable by EPR even in aqueous solution at ...

All biological systems, contain many antioxidants; including water-soluble compounds, such as ascorbic acid. The one-electron oxidation of ascorbate (AH¯produces the ascorbyl radical (A•), that has a relatively long lifetime ...

2,2′-Azobis-[2-amidinopropane] initiated lipid peroxidation of egg yolk phosphatydil choline liposomes was measured by oxygen uptake and the emitted visible luminescence. Lipid peroxidation involved a chain process (kinetic ...

Numerous investigations exist about the alterations that oxygen free radicals can provoke on biomolecules; these modifications can be prevented and/or reversed by different antioxidants agents. On the other hand, ...

Photoinitiated perfluorobutylation reactions of 2-anisidine 1, propenyloxybenzene 2, and 2-mercaptoethanol 3 have been carried out employing commercially available n-C4F9I as the source of C4F9 radicals under three different ...
