The antioxidant properties of melatonin were tested in this work by EPR technique. It was found that melatonin scavenges phenylglyoxylic ketyl radicals. Its effectiveness was 10-times lower than that of vitamin C. A new method of generation of phenylglyoxylic ketyl radicals by spontaneous decomposition of D,L-2,3-diphenyltartaric acid in propan-2-ol was used.

Direct alkylation of C(sp )-H bonds to convert an aldehyde into a ketone is a notorious transformation, due to the laborious challenge of the formation of ketyl or acyl radicals. Herein, we report a green, cheap, metal-free and efficient method for the hydroacylation of olefins in water. This photochemical protocol utilizes phenylglyoxylic acid, a commercially available small organic molecule, as the photoinitiator, water as the solvent and household fluorescent lamps as the irradiation source, leading to a broad substrate scope of products in moderate to good yields.

The antioxidant properties of silymarin and its flavanolignan components (silybin, silychristin and silydianin) were tested. Silymarin, silychristin and silydianin exhibit relatively good antioxidant effectiveness against phenylglyoxylic ketyl radicals and DPPH. The most effective scavengers of phenylglyoxylic ketyl radicals were silymarin and silychristin whereas silydianin was ca.

The paper describes spontaneous decomposition of D,L-2,3-diphenyltartaric acid in propane-2-ol, which takes place via radicals at ambient temperature. The primary product of the decomposition is short-living ketyl radicals of phenylglyoxalic acid, which are captured and stabilized by means of the spin trap of N-terc-butyl-alpha-phenylnitrone. The spontaneous decomposition of D,L-2,3-diphenyltartaric acid in propane-2-ol served as the source of radicals for the determination of the antioxidative effect of known antioxidants: C-vitamin, E-vitamin, and selenomethionine.
