Deoxyribose Assay

Hydroxyl radicals (OH.) in free solution react with scavengers at rates predictable from their known second-order rate constants. However, when OH. radicals are produced in biological systems by metal-ion-dependent Fenton-type reactions scavengers do not always appear to conform to these established rate constants. The detector molecules deoxyribose and benzoate were used to study damage by OH. involving a hydrogen-abstraction reaction and an aromatic hydroxylation. In the presence of EDTA the rate constant for the reaction of scavengers with OH. was generally higher than in the absence of EDTA. This radiomimetic effect of EDTA can be explained by the removal of iron from the detector molecule, where it brings about a site-specific reaction, by EDTA allowing more OH. radicals to escape into free solution to react with added scavengers. The deoxyribose assay, although chemically complex, in the presence of EDTA appears to give a simple and cheap method of obtaining rate constants for OH. reactions that compare well with those obtained by using pulse radiolysis.

Kinetic Calculations

The hydrogen abstraction reaction of CH 3 CH 2 C(O)OCH 2 CH 3 + OH has been studied theoretically by dual-level direct dynamics method. Six H-abstraction channels were found for this reaction. The required potential energy surface information for the kinetic calculations was obtained at the MCG3-MPWB//M06-2X/aug-cc-pVDZ level. The rate constants were calculated by the improved canonical variational transition-state theory with small-curvature tunneling correction (ICVT/SCT) approach in the temperature range of 200–2000 K. It is shown that the "methylene H-abstraction" from the alkoxy end of the ester CH 3 CH 2 C(O)OCH 2 CH 3 is the dominant channel at lower temperature (< 400 K), while the other channels from the acetyl end should be taken into account as the temperature increases and become the competitive ones at higher temperature. The calculated global rate constants are in good agreement with the experimental ones in the measured temperature range and exhibit a negative temperature dependence below 500 K. A four-parameter rate constant expression was fitted from the calculated kinetic data between 200–2000 K.

Ho2 Radical

C2H5OH has been using as an alternative fuel for decades; HO2 also plays a pivotal role in the combustion. The kinetics and mechanism for the reaction between C2H5OH and HO2 radical has been investigated using the molecular parameters for the reactants, transition states and products predicted at the CCSD(T)//B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2p) level of theory. There are ten pair products have been found including C2H5O + H2O2 (PR1), CH3CHOH + H2O2 (PR2), CH2CH2OH + H2O2 (PR3), CH3CH2OOOH + H (PR4), C2H5 + HOOOH (PR5), CH3CH2OOH + OH (PR6), CH3CH(OH)OOH + H (PR7), HOCH2CH2OH + H (PR8), HOOCH3 + CH2OH (PR9), and CH3 + HOOCH2OH (PR10) in which the second and third ones are the major channels. The rate constants and branching ratios for all H-abstraction reactions have been calculated using the conventional transition state theory with asymmetric Eckart tunneling corrections for the temperature ranging from 298 to 2000 K.

Oh Reactions

In this work, a theoretical study is presented on the mechanism of OH reactions with C1-C5 aliphatic aldehydes. We have shown that, starting from butanal, the Cβ H-abstraction channel becomes relatively important and it contributes moderately to the total rate constant. Calculated overall rate coefficients at the CCSD(T)/6-311++G**//BHandHLYP/6-311++G** level are in excellent agreement with experimental data, supporting the proposed mechanisms. Negative activation energies are found to be in agreement with the temperature dependence observed for aldehydes. The branching ratio between the aldehydic and Cβ hydrogen abstraction is not significantly modified as temperature increases from 230 to 330 K.

Abstract Two primary processes were observed in the Hg-sensitized photolysis of Me 5 Si 2 H: (I) hydrogen abstraction from the Si-H bond with a quantum yield of 0(1) = 0.85, (V) Si-Si bond breaking with 0(V) = 0.04. The hydrogen atoms formed in (/) undergo an H atom abstraction reaction (k(3)), as well as substitution reactions at the Si centers resulting in the formation of dimethylsilane and trimethylsilyl radical (k(4)) or trimethylsilane and dimethylsilyl radical (k(5)). The following branching ratios have been determined:[xxx]The ratio of disproportionation (k(2)) to combination (k(1)) for the pentamethyldisilyl radical has been determined with MeOH as the scavenger for 1-methyl-l-trimethylsilylsilene, 0.046 < k(2)/A: C1) < 0.071. A mechanism with pertinent rate constants has been proposed which accounts for theresults.
