Electrochemical oxidation of vitamin e (α-toh) inside artificial lipid multilayers.
α-Tocopherol is electrochemically converted into α-tocopherol quinone via an intermediate α-tocopherol phenoxonium cation. It is a chemically irreversible process which occurs readily in the presence of water. This -2e-/-2H+ oxidation reaction was examined by conducting electrochemical experiments...
