Addition of a thiol compound to a solution containing Cu2+ and H2O2 resulted in the generation of hydroxyl radicals (OH.). These radicals were able to oxidize salicylic acid and tryptamine in a reaction that was strongly inhibited by the OH.-scavenger mannitol. Covalent coupling of the thiol compound to tryptamine did not significantly influence the degradation of the indole moiety subsequent to addition of H2O2 and Cu2+. The inhibiting effect of mannitol, however, was strongly reduced, indicating that the scavenger could not interfere with site-specific reactions of OH..
向含有Cu2+和H2O2的溶液中添加硫醇化合物会导致羟基自由基(OH.)的生成。这些自由基能够在一个被OH-清除剂甘露醇强烈抑制的反应中氧化水杨酸和色胺。硫醇化合物与色胺的共价偶联在添加H2O2和Cu2+后对吲哚部分的降解没有显著影响。然而,甘露醇的抑制作用大大降低,这表明该清除剂无法干扰OH.的位点特异性反应。
