The reactions of chromophores of the stilbene type with hydroxyl radical (HO center dot) and superoxide radical (O center dot(-)(2)/HO2 center dot) .2. Reactions other than cleavage of the conjugated double bond
The reactions of three hydroxy- and/or methoxy-substituted stilbenes with hydroxyl radicals (HO .) or with hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals (HO . + O-2(-.)/HO2 .) under alkaline and acidic conditions have been studied. In this part, the course of the reactions other than cleavage of the conjugated double bond is described.
