, p. 426 - 433 (1998)
ITyOH is an intermediate in the synthesis of the growth hormones T3 and T4. For the past years, the redox chemistry of ITyOH has been studied using radiation chemical techniques. In this study, the transient behavior, reaction mechanisms, and nature of degradation products in aqueous solutions at a pH of biological relevance were elucidated. Keeping in view the ubiquitous nature and efficient radical scavenging property of oxygen in biology, its effects on the progress of these reactions were also determined.
