From alcohols to sugars-how does the reactivity of alpha-hydroxyalkyl radicals change with structure? A quantitative examination by pulse radiolysis.
Rate constants are reported for the 1-electron reduction of the azo dye Orange II in water (pH 7.0) by 10 different alpha-hydroxy radicals. The radicals were created by pulse radiolysis of aqueous solutions of the corresponding alcohol/sugar. The rate constants varied from 1 x 10(8) to 2.7 x 10(9) m...
