摘要: The DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity of protocatechuic acid (3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid) and its related catechols was examined. Compounds possessing strong electron-withdrawing substituents showed high activity. NMR analysis the reaction mixtures in methanol formation adducts. results suggest that alcohol is due to a nucleophilic addition an molecule on o-quinones, which leads regeneration catechol structure. Furthermore, alcohols would largely depend electron-withdrawing/donating substituents, since they affect susceptibility toward attacks o-quinone.
