Antioxidant Mechanisms

In this paper the reaction enthalpies of three antioxidant action mechanisms, HAT, SET–PT, and SPLET, for mono-substituted Stobadines were calculated in gas-phase and water. Results show that electron-withdrawing substituents increase the bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE), ionization potential (IP), and electron transfer enthalpy (ETE), while electron-donating ones cause a rise in the proton dissociation enthalpy (PDE) and proton affinity (PA). In comparison to gas-phase, water attenuates the substituent effect on all reaction enthalpies. Results show that IP and BDE values can be successfully correlated with the indolic N–H bond length after electron abstraction, R(N–H+•), and the partial charge on the indolyl radical nitrogen atom, q( N ). Furthermore, calculated IP and PA values for mono-substituted Stobadines show linear dependence on the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (E HOMO ) of studied molecules in the two environments. SPLET represents the thermodynamically preferred mechanism in water.

Abstract The substituent effect on the geometry and strain enthalpy of [2,2]paracyclophane is theoretically investigated by density functional theory. Gas-phase calculations were performed for twenty distinct electron donating and electron withdrawing substituents. The largest out-of-plane distortion of phenyl rings is exhibited by —SCN and —CF3 groups. On the other hand, —OH, —CH3 and —F groups show the minimal deformation. The strain enthalpy for unsubstituted [2,2]paracyclophane associated with repulsive forces between phenyl units reached up to 118.5 kJ mol−1. Any substitution causes increase of the strain enthalpy value proportionally to the absolute values of Hammett para-substituent constants. Two separate linear dependences with similar slopes were obtained for monosubstituted as well as double symmetrically substituted derivatives.
