Biomol. Chem. 1:4085; 2003). However, very little is known about the detailed electron-transfer properties of phenolate anions derived from phenolic antioxidants. In this study, we report the PMC anion can act as a strong electron donor to 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical as well as to a series of p-benzoquinones in MeCN. The kinetic data obtained in this study were evaluated in light of the Marcus theory of electron transfer, providing valuable insight into the electron-transfer properties of the phenolate anions derived from phenolic antioxidants., SFRBM/SFRRI 2010}, title = {Electron-Transfer Properties of the Phenolate Anion Derived from a Vitamin E Model in the Presence of a Strong Base in an Aprotic Medium}, year = {2010} }
