Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The rate constants (k1) and stoichiometric coefficients (f) of chain termination in the oxidation of lipid models (methyl esters of acids in the oleic series) by α-tocopherol and its synthetic analog at 50°C were measured. The values of k1 and f do not depend on the structure of the substituent R in the peroxide radical ROO of the lipid models undergoing oxidation, but the values of k1 are determined by the conformation of the investigated phenols.
