alpha-Tocopherol was reacted with methyl 13(S)-hydroperoxy-9(Z), 11(E)-octadecadienoate in the presence of an iron-chelate, Fe(III)-acetylacetonate, at 37 degrees C in benzene. The reaction was carried out either aerobically or anaerobically. The main products of alpha-tocopherol under air were isolated and identified as two stereoisomers of 4a,5-epoxy-8a-hydroperoxy-alpha-tocopherone, four stereoisomers of methyl 9-(8a-dioxy-alpha-tocopherone)-12, 13-epoxy-10(E)-octadecenoate, four stereoisomers of methyl 11-(8a-dioxy-alpha-tocopherone)-12,13-epoxy-9(Z)-octadecenoa te, two stereoisomers of methyl 13(S)-(8a-dioxy-alpha- tocopherone)-9(Z),11(E)-octadecadienoate, and alpha-tocopherol dimer. Besides the 8a-(lipid-peroxy)-alpha-tocopherones, two stereoisomers of methyl 11-(alpha-tocopheroxy)-12(S),13(S)-epoxy- 9(E)-octadecenoate, two stereoisomers of methyl 9-(alpha-tocopheroxy)-12(S), 13(S)-epoxy-10(E)-octadecenoate, and two isomers of methyl (alpha-tocopheroxy)-octadecadienoate were obtained under nitrogen atmosphere. The results indicate that the peroxyl radicals from lipid hydroperoxides prefer to react with the 8a-carbon radical of alpha-tocopherol and the carbon-centered radicals react with the phenoxyl radical of alpha-tocopherol.

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
