Abstract
The reactivity of .alpha.-tocopherol, a vegetable oil antioxidant, with the hydroperoxide of methyl linoleate was studied. Various spectrometric techniques were employed. The hydroxyperoxide of methyl linoleate could not react directly with .alpha.-tocopherol, but the peroxy radical of methyl linoleate could very easily react with .alpha.-tocopherol to produce .alpha.-tocopheryl quinone.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
