Zusatztext "This book presents a comprehensive panorama of the chemistry of oxidation of organic compounds by atmospheric oxygen, and of the properties of antioxidants, both in chemistry and in biology. The kinetics and thermodynamics of the various processes are discussed in great detail, and a large compilation of physicochemical data that are needed to predict the relative importance of the possible reaction paths is presented in the numerous tables. The inclusion of a CD containing a program by which enthalpies of reaction, activation energies, and rate constants can be calculated makes this task even easier." -Gianfranco Pedulli, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Vol. 45, No. 29, August 2006 "The book provides up-to-date information about the oxidation of different compounds, antioxidants, and biological oxidation…an excellent source of information not only to the students but also the persons involved in research and academia." -Carbohydrate Polymers, 2006 "…the authors have conveniently reproduced many figures and schemes directly from their original sources, all of which contribute to a clear visualization of the material covered...the substantial amount of information contained under one cover is definitely the most important asset of this book." -Gerald B. Hammond, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 128, No. 13, 2006 Promo Copy Informationen zum Autor Evgeny T. Denisov, Igor B. Afanas'ev Klappentext Covering the chemistry of liquid-phase oxidation of organic compounds! this book includes the results of analysis with the parabolic model as applied to reactions of peroxyl radicals with C-H bond of different organic compounds. It supplies chemical mechanistic information about antioxidants and their action on the autoxidation of hydrocarbons! alcohols! and other organic compounds and polymers. The authors explore the development of the theory of antioxidant reactivity using the conception of intersection of parabolic potential curves and discuss the physiological and pathophysiological oxidative processes mediated by free radical activity. Zusammenfassung Offers a comprehensive review of reactions of oxidation for different classes of organic compounds and polymers, and biological processes mediated by free radicals. This book contains information about mechanisms of action of antioxidants, their reactivity, reactions of intermediates, synergism and antioxidants with cyclic mechanism action. Inhaltsverzeichnis Chemistry and Kinetics of Organic Compounds Oxidation by Dioxygen. Chemistry of Antioxidants. Biological Oxidation and Antioxidants....
