Peroxyesters As Precursors to Peroxyl Radical Clocks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The reactions of peroxyl radicals are at the center of the oxidative degradation of essentially all petroleum-derived hydrocarbons and biological lipids and consequently, the inhibition of these processes by radical-trapping antioxidants. Recently described peroxyl radical clocks offer a simple, convenient, and inexpensive method of determining rate constants for H-atom transfer reactions to peroxyl radicals, greatly enabling the kinetic and mechanistic characterization of compounds with antioxidant properties. We follow up our preliminary communication on the development of a methodology utilizing tert-butyl styrylperacetate as a precursor to a versatile peroxyl radical clock with the present paper, wherein we describe a novel naphthyl analogue, which provides for much improved product resolution for analysis, and provide the complete details associated with its development and application. Using this new precursor, and with consideration of the expanded set of reaction products, inhibition rate constants were measured for a variety of representative phenolic and diarylamine radical-trapping antioxidants. We also provide details for the use of this methodology for the determination of mechanistic information, such as kinetic solvent effects, Arrhenius parameters, and kinetic isotope effects.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
