Absolute rate constants have been determined for the reversible hydrogen-transfer process R. + RSH ->/<- RH + RS. by pulse radiolysis, mainly through direct observation of the RS. radical formation kinetics in water-RH (1:1, v/v) mixtures.The thiols investigated were penicillamine and glutathione; the RH hydrogen donors were methanol, ethanol, propan-1-ol, propan-2-ol, ethylene glycol, tetrahydrofuran and 1,4-dioxane with the abstracted hydrogen being located α to the hydroxy or alkoxy function.Rate constants for the forward reaction of the above equilibrium (in radiation biology referred to as 'repair' reaction) were typically of the order of 1E7-1E8 dm3 mol-1 s-1 while hydrogen abstraction from RH by thiyl radicals (reverse process) occurred with rate constants of the order of 1E3-1E4 dm3 mol-1 s-1.This yields equilibrium constants of the order of 1E4.Based on these data, standard reduction potentials could be evaluated for the R'R''C.OH/H(1+)//R'R''CHOH, R'R''CO/H(1+)//R'R''C.(OH) and R'R''CO//R'R''C.O(1-) couples from methanol, ethanol and propan-2-ol.Effective hydrogen-atom abstraction by RS. required activation by neighbouring groups of the C-H bond to be cleaved in RH.No such process was observed for the RS. reaction with -CH3 groups, e.g. in 2-methylpropan-2-ol.Several halogenated hydrocarbons, including some anaesthetics (e.g. halothane) and Fe(CN)6(3-) have been tested with respect to their ability to disturb the (CH3)2C.OH + RSH ->/<- (CH3)2CHOH + RS. equilibrium through an irreversible electron-transfer reaction with the reducing α-hydroxyl radical, thereby drawing the equilibrium to the left-hand side.The respective efficiencies are found to be related to the electronegativities of the electron acceptors.The results are briefly discussed in terms of their biological relevance.
