- 2-Aryltellurophenols substituted in the aryltelluro or phenolic part of the molecule were prepared by lithiation of the corresponding O-THP-protected 2-bromophenol, followed by reaction with a suitable diaryl ditelluride and deprotection. In a two-phase system containing N-acetylcysteine as a co-antioxidant in the aqueous phase, all compounds quenched lipid peroxyl radicals more efficiently than α-tocopherol with 3 to 5-fold longer inhibition times. Compounds carrying electron donating para-substituents in the phenolic or aryltelluro part of the molecule showed the best results. The mechanism for quenching of peroxyl radicals was discussed in the light of calculated OH bond dissociation energies, deuterium labeling experiments and studies of thiol-consumption in the aqueous phase.
