Abstract:
At M05-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level, the reaction mechanisms of piceatannol and its methoxy derivatives with OOH free radical were studied in gas phase, the effect of solvent polarity on the reaction mechanisms were also considered using the polarizable continuum model. The results showed that PIC-R1-A5 and PIC-R2-A3A5 have best reactivity and higher solubility among the derivatives. The reaction rates of PIC-R1-A5 and PIC-R2-A3A5 with OOH are higher than that of PIC with OOH,the more favorable channel is hydrogen atom transfer. Furthermore, the results also manifested that there is a positive correlation between the rate constants and temperature.
