Oxidation with a “Stopover” – Stable Zwitterions as Intermediates in the Oxidation of α‐Tocopherol (Vitamin E) Model Compounds to their Corresponding ortho‐Quinone Methides
As a prominent member of the vitamin E group, α‐tocopherol is an important lipophilic antioxidant. It has a special oxidation chemistry that involves phenoxyl radicals, quinones and quinone methides. During the oxidation to the ortho‐quinone methide, an intermediary zwitterion is formed. This aromat...
