Kinetics and mechanism of protection of thymine from sulphate radical anion under anoxic conditions

Abstract: The rates of photooxidation of thymine in presence of peroxydisulphate (PDS) have been determined by measuring the absorbance of thymine at 264 nm spectrophotometrically. The rates and the quantum yields (φ) of oxidation of thymine by sulphate radical anion have been determined in the presence of different concentrations of caffeic acid. Increase in [caffeic acid] is found to decrease the rate of oxidation of thymine suggesting that caffeic acid acts as an efficient scavenger of − • 4 − • 4 SO scavenging by ca… Show more

“…The results obtained in the present study (Table IV) indicate that adenosine radicals are efficiently repaired by caffeic acid to the extent of 69% at about 20 μM of caffeic acid concentration. This type of repair reactions by caffeic acid has been reported 18 in the oxidation of adenine by SO •− 4 . It is known that caffeic acid can repair the transient oxidizing radicals efficiently 19.…”

“…Hence, we propose that the excited states of caffeic acid and adenosine act as sensitizers to transfer energy to t ‐BuOOH to produce radical species. This type of sensitizing effect has been proposed in similar systems earlier 16. Therefore, the light intensity at 254 nm has been used to calculate the quantum yields of oxidation of adenosine as well as caffeic acid under different experimental conditions.…”

“…This method has been used to determine the K app for various organic pollutants such as carbamazepine (Matta et al 2011) and caffeic acid (Swaraga and Adinarayana 2003). The concept of this method is based on the simultaneous oxidation of the reference compound and the selected b-blockers.…”

“…The competition kinetics method has also been used to determine the rate constant for the reaction between SO 4 -Á with caffeic acid (Swaraga and Adinarayana 2003) and carbamazepine (Matta et al 2011). Basically, this method is based on the simultaneous oxidation of benzene (reference compound), whose rate constant for the reaction with SO 4 -Á is known, and DEET (target compound), whose rate constant for the reaction with SO 4 -Á is to be determined.…”
