Improvement of pro-oxidant capacity of protocatechuic acid by esterification.

Improvement of pro-oxidant capacity of protocatechuic acid by esterification.

Pro-oxidant effects of phenolic compounds are usually correlated to the one-electron redox potential of the phenoxyl radicals. Here we demonstrated that, besides their oxidizability, hydrophobicity can also be a decisive factor. We found that esterification of protocatechuic acid (P0) provoked a pro...
