Abstract

Sterically hindered phenols form an important class of peroxyl trapping antioxidants. Indeed, a-tocopherol (la), a component of vitamin E, is the major lipid-soluble antioxidant in human blood, l and its biological function, as well as that of analogs of it, continues to be of considerable interest? Ingold and co-workers have published a number of papers defining the structural features that are responsible for the high antioxidant activity of 1 and its ...
