Article Synopsis
- A kinetic study examined the reaction between aroxyl radicals and various fatty acid esters, revealing that the reaction rates increased with the number of double bonds in the esters.
- The second-order rate constants (k values) for these reactions were measured spectrophotometrically in toluene, with the highest k value recorded for ethyl arachidonate.
- A similar study with carotenoids showed the same trend in reaction rates and also identified the mechanism as allylic hydrogen abstraction, incorporating insights from density functional theory for further analysis.
