A kinetic study of the reduction of pyrocatechol and catechin by dpph(center dot) radical has been carried out in various ratios of CH3OH/H2O mixed solvent at pH 5.5-7.5, mu = 0.10 M [(n-Bu)(4)N]ClO4, and T = 25 degrees C. The rate constants of oxidation in aqueous solvent, k(H2O), were obtained from the extrapolation of the linear plots of the specific rate constants k vs. % H2O plots at each pH value. A linear relationship between k(H2O) and 1/[H+] was observed for both flavonoids with k(H2O) = k(1)K(a1)/[H+], where K-a1 was the first acid dissociation constant on the catechol ring and k(1) is the rate constant of the oxidation of the mononegative species HX-. The values of k(1) obtained from the slopes of the plots are (8.2 +/- 0.2) x 10(5) and (6.1 +/- 0.1) x 10(5) M-1 s(-1) for pyrocatechol and catechin, respectively. The analysis of the reaction on the basis of Marcus theory for an outer-sphere electron transfer reaction yielded a value of 3.7 x 10(3) M-1 s(-1) for the self-exchange rate constant of dpph(center dot)/dpphH couple.
