Qx. Guo et al., KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF ONE-ELECTRON OXIDATION OF BILIRUBIN IN DICHLOROMETHANE SOLUTION, Research of chemical intermediates, 22(1), 1996, pp. 23-29
Bilirubin (BR) was oxidized by tris-(4-bromophenyl)-ammonium hexachlor
oantimonate (1), 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-acetyloxypiperidine oxoammonium
hexachloroantimonate (2) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-methoxypiperidine
oxoamonium tetrafluoroborate (3) to the corresponding radical cation.
The rate and activation parameters for the reaction were determined. A
n electron transfer mechanism is proposed based on the kinetic results
