Abstract
To study a radical scavenging reaction of α-tocopherol, it was reacted with methyl radical in dimethyl sulfoxide. Two main products, a geminal dimethyl cyclohexadienone and methyl ether of α-tocopherol, were obtained and these structures were determined by13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The radical methylation data of α-tocopherol suggested that a delocalized radical species would be an intermediate.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
