Standard potentials (Eo) of a series of substituted α-aryloxyacetoveratrone derivatives have been determined from a correlation of the 13C NMR chemical shifts of the carbonyl group and a similar correlation (Eo vs. 13C NMR shifts) within a series of α-anilinoacetoveratrones. Using these potentials the rate constants for fragmentation of the radical anions were determined by digital simulation of the voltammetric waves. The rate contants for C O cleavage in the radical anions correlate with the pKa of the corresponding phenols. The fragmentations are all in the activated region of a general free energy relationship for this class of compound (α = 0.5). The standard potential and rate constant for fragmention of the α-guaiacoxyacetoveratrone radical anion also were determined. This species is a model compound for one of the lignin substructures. The implication of these results on the currently accepted mechanism for photo-yellowing of lignin rich paper is discussed.

The formal reduction potential (E°) of α-phenoxyacetophenone has been determined from the voltammetric peak potential obtained by linear sweep voltammetry in combination with the rate constant for fragmentation of the radical anion which had been determin
