Triplet ketones are known to oxidize biological substrates which can lead to damage of several biomolecules such as amino acids, nucleosides and DNA. As part of our systematic study on the interaction between carbonyl compounds and phenols, the triplet reactivity of thiochromanone (1) towards substituted phenols, in acetonitrile, was investigated employing the laser fash photolysis technique. The quenching rate constants ranged from (1.1 ± 0.1) × 108 L mol-1 s-1 (4-cyanophenol) to (5.8 ± 1.0) × 109 L mol-1 s-1 (hydroquinone). A Hammett plot for the reaction of triplet 1 with phenols containing polar substituents resulted in a reaction constant ρ =-0.90. This negative value observed for the reaction constant ρ is in accord with a mechanism in which the hydrogen transfer from phenols to the triplet carbonyl involves a coupled electron/proton transfer.

Photoreduction of p-Benzoquinones: Effects of Alcohols and Amines on the Intermediates and Reactivities in Solution
Goerner, Helmut
, p. 440 - 448 (2007/10/03)
The photochemistry of 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ) and alkyl-, Cl- and related derivatives, e.g. methyl-, 2,6-dimethyl-, chloro-, 2,5-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone, duroquinone and chloranil, was studied in nonaqueous solvents by UV-vis spectroscopy using nanosecond laser pulses at 308 nm. The reactivity of the triplet state (3Q*) of the quinones with 2-propanol in the absence of water is largest for BQ and depends mainly on the quinone structure, whereas the rate constant of electron transfer from amines, such as triethylamine (TEA) or 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, is close to the diffusion-controlled limit for BQ and most derivatives. Photoinduced charge separation after electron transfer from amines to 3Q* and the subsequent charge recombination or neutralization are supported by time-resolved conductivity measurements. The half-life of the decay kinetics of the semiquinone radical (.QH/Q.-) depends significantly on the donor and the medium. The photoconversion into the hydroquinones was measured under various conditions, the quantum yield, λirr = 254 nm, increases with increasing 2-propanol and TEA concentrations. The effects of quenching of 3Q*, the .QH/Q.- radicals and the photoconversion are outlined. The mechanisms of photoreduction of quinones in acetonitrile by 2-propanol are compared with those by TEA in benzene and acetonitrile, and the specific properties of substitution are discussed.
Diphenol radical cations and semiquinone radicals as direct products of the free electron transfer from catechol, resorcinol and hydroquinone to parent solvent radical cations

In the pulse radiolysis of solutions of catechol, resorcinol and hydroquinone in n-butylchloride, dihydroxybenzene radical cations (40%) as well as semiquinone radicals (60%) are observed as direct synchronously formed products of the electron transfer from the solvent parent ions to the solute. This is explained in terms of free electron transfer succeeding in nearly every encounter of the reactants, which in the case of the studied dihydroxybenzenes involves femtosecond molecular dynamics effects. The rotation of the C-OH bond causes cycling of the molecule through transient conformations also exhibiting different electron distributions. From the more chemical point of view, the diphenol radical cations represent the first and till now unknown intermediates of oxidative semiquinone radical formation.
The reactivity of ketyl and alkyl radicals in reactions with carbonyl compounds

A parabolic model of bimolecular radical reactions was used for analysis of the hydrogen transfer reactions of ketyl radicals: >C+OH + R1COR2 → >C=O + R1R2C+OH. The parameters describing the reactivity of the reagents were calculated from the experimental data. The parameters that characterize the reactions of ketyl and alkyl radicals as hydrogen donors with olefins and with carbonyl compounds were obtained: >C+OH + R1CH=CH2 → >C=O + R1C+ HCH3; >R1CH=CH2 + R2C+HCH2R3 → R2C+HCH3 + R2CH=CHR3. These parameters were used to calculate the activation energies of these transformations. The kinetic parameters of reactions of hydrogen abstraction by free radicals and molecules (aldehydes, ketones, and quinones) from the C-H and O-H bonds were compared.
Photoreduction of Triplet Benzophenone by Tertiary Amines: Amine Molecular Structure and Ketyl Radical Yield
Von Raumer, Markus,Suppan, Paul,Haselbach, Edwin
, p. 719 - 724 (2007/10/03)
The photoreduction of triplet benzophenone by 14 tertiary amines was investigated. The ketyl radical yields do not correlate with the quenching rate constants, nor with the electron donor propensity of the amines. Individual structural features of the amines seem to determine the photoreduction yields.
