Interaction of hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives with the Cl3COO radical: a pulse radiolysis study.

The electron transfer reactions between the trichloromethylperoxyl radical (Cl3COO*) and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, including chlorogenic acid, sinapic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid and 3,4-(methylenedioxy)cinnamic acid, have been studied by pulse radiolysis. The hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, especially sinapic acid, are identified as good antioxidants for reduction of Cl3COO* via electron transfer reactions. From buildup kinetic analysis of phenoxyl radical, the rate constant for reaction of Cl3COO* with sinapic acid has been determined to be 8.2x10(7) dm3 mol(-1) s(-1), while the rate constants of electron transfer from other hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives to Cl3COO* were obtained to be about 2x10(7) dm3 mol(-1) s(-1). The reaction of 3,4-(methylenedioxy) cinnamic acid with Cl3COO* was investigated as an evidence for the electron transfer mechanism.[1]
