Synthesis, antioxidant properties, and reaction kinetics of aliphatic diamine bridged hindered phenols

详细

A series of aliphatic diamine bridged hindered phenols was synthesized. Their antioxidant activity was evaluated for assessing the role of bridging groups in trapping 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH•) and in 2,2'-azodi(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) induced oxidation of styrene. The study of reaction kinetics of scavenging of the peroxyl radicals demonstrated that the scavenging ability of the DPPH free radical decreased when length of the bridging groups increased. However, the ability to protect styrene from AIBN-induced oxidation increased with increased length of the bridging groups.
