ESR and ENDOR Studies of Cation Radicals Derived from Benzodipyran Compounds. Structure and Dynamic Behavior of Heterocyclic Ring in Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
Abstract:ESR and ENDOR spectra of cation radicals of benzodipyran compounds were measured in CH2Cl2, and the proton hyperfine coupling constants were correctly determined for each radical. From detailed analysis of the temperature dependence of hyperfine coupling of β- and γ-methylene protons in the heterocyclic ring, the equilibrium conformation of the β-methylene group and activation energy for the conformational interconversion have been determined. The structure of the heterocyclic ring was compared with those of α… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
