Abstract

The structure of a new compound formed in the reaction of ethoxyquin with alkylperoxy radicals was resolved by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy (including COSY, NOESY, HHC RCT and SSLR INEPT techniques) and confirmed by mass spectrometry. The structure suggest participation of 4-methyl group of ethoxyquin in the deactivation of peroxy radicals. A mechanism of this reaction is proposed.
