Nm. Atherton et Jss. Willder, EPR AND ENDOR OF FREE-RADICALS FORMED DURING THE AEROBIC OXIDATION OFCHLOROGENIC ACID AND OF CAFFEIC ACID IN STRONGLY ALKALINE-SOLUTION, Research of chemical intermediates, 19(8), 1993, pp. 787-795
The proton hyperfine coupling constants in three free radicals which a
re formed during the aerobic oxidation of either chlorogenic acid or o
f caffeic acid in strongly alkaline solution have been measured using
EPR and ENDOR spectroscopy and the three radicals thus characterised.
Possible identities for the free radicals are discussed.
