A series of benzotriazole, cyclic amides and pyrimidine derivatives, containing 2,6-di-tert-butyl-phenol fragments, were synthesized. The redox properties of obtained compounds were studied using the cyclic voltammetry on a platinum electrode in acetonitrile. The oxidation potentials of all substances were comparable to those of BHT. The obtained compounds were tested for their antibacterial activity, and N-(2-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxoethyl)isatin (32 μg/mL) exerted good activity against Staphylococcus aureus.

Oxidation of α-ketoglutaric acid with Ce(IV) ions in a solution of sulphuric acid is a reaction of the first order with respect to both Ce(IV) ions and substrate, is acid catalysed, and its rate is proportional to the reciprocal square of the equilibrium HSO4- concentration. From the temperature dependence of the rate constant in 1.5M-H2SO4, the activation parameters were determined as ΔH##f = 57 kJ/mol and ΔS##f = -45 J mol-1 K-1. The redox reaction proper consists apparently of two steps: in the first one, the enol form of α-ketoglutaric acid reacts with Ce(IV) ions with the formation of the corresponding radical; in the second one, the latter is oxidized further with Ce(IV) to give malonic and succinic acids. Conditions are indicated under which α-ketoglutaric acid serves as substrate for the Belousov-Zhabotinskii oscillation reaction in the presence of Ce(IV)-Ce(III) redox catalyst. Oscillations of Ce(IV) and Br2 concentrations, shifted in phase, can be recorded polarographically with a rotating platinum electrode.
