Abstract
2-(Dodecylsulfanyl)methyl-, 2,6- and 2,5-bis[(dodecylsulfanyl)methyl]-substituted derivatives of hydroquinone were synthesized. Under the conditions of AIBN-initiated oxidation of styrene (37 °C), these compounds were found to terminate the oxidation chains with the stoichiometric inhibition coefficients of 1.8–2.1 and rate constants of 2.0 · 105, 1.9 · 105, and 6.5 · 104 mol L−1 s−1, respectively. Based on the rate constants, the O-H bond energies in the molecules of hydroquinone and its (dodecylsulfanyl)methyl-substituted derivatives were calculated and found to be equal to 340.9, 346.8, 347.1, and 353.1 kJ mol−1, respectively. It was established that the reactivity of (dodecylsulfanyl)-methyl-substituted derivatives of hydroquinone with respect to peroxide radicals was significantly affected by intramolecular hydrogen bonds O-H⋯S: the rate constants decreased by 2.8–8.5 times compared to hydroquinone. The synthesized thio derivatives of hydroquinone were found to be 2.7–6.7 times superior to the reference phenolic antioxidants (BHT, BHA, hydroquinone, and tert-butylhydroquinone) and 1.7–2.4 times to the sulfur-containing phenolic antioxidant Irganox-1726 in the duration of inhibition of thermal autoxidation of lard; 2,5-bis[(dodecylsulfanyl)methyl]hydroquinone was characterized by the greatest inhibitory effect.
