ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES OF DIHYDROXYFUMARIC ACID AND ITS DIMETHYL ETHER: A COMPARATIVE DFT STUDY OF THEIR REACTIONS WITH THE STABLE RADICAL DPPH*

The preferred mechanism of the reaction of dihydroxyfumaric acid and its dimethyl ether with the free stable radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH*) was revealed by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The proposed mechanism has an ionic character and includes the formation o...
