spirodiene dimer of α-tocopherol;(2'R,8R)-2',5,6,7',8,8'-hexamethyl-2',8-bis[(4R,8R)-4,8,12-trimethyltridecyl]spiro[1,2,9,10-tetrahydropyrano[3,2-f]chromene-3,5'-3,4-dihydrochromene]-6'-one
Bromination of the ethano-dimer of alpha-tocopherol (6) afforded pyrano-spirodimer of alpha-tocopherol (7) quantitatively, while the methano-dimer of alpha-tocopherol (10) produced a mixture of products, including the furano-spirodimer 11, pyrano-spirodimer 7, and 5-bromo-gamma-tocopherol (12), the latter two formed in ail unusual dealkylative fragmentation step. The mechanisms were studied by a combination of trapping reactions as well as kinetic and computational studies. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The secondary process of lipid peroxidation produces some toxic aldehydes. Since this process takes place via free radical reaction in lipophilic circumstances, alpha-tocopherol would suppress the formation of such aldehydes by trapping free-radical intermediates. This study reports the effect of alpha-tocopherol on the hemin-catalyzed decomposition of 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-3-sn-phosphatidylcholine 13-hydroper-oxide (PLPC-OOH) in micelles and liposomes. PLPC-OOH and alpha-tocopherol were reacted with hemin in micelles, and the reaction products were characterized to be 1-palmitoyl-2-(alpha-tocopheroxy-12,13-epoxyoctadecenoyl)-3-sn-phosphatidylcholines (T-epoxyPLPC) and known compounds, 1-palmitoyl-2[(8a-dioxy-alpha-tocopherone)-12,13-epoxyoctadecenoyl]-3-sn-phosphatidylcholines (TOO-epoxyPLPC) and alpha-tocopherol dimer. The hemin-catalyzed decomposition of PLPC-OOH in micelles produced hexanal as one of secondary aldehydic products. alpha-Tocopherol suppressed the formation of hexanal, and alpha-tocopherylquinone, alpha-tocopherol dimer, TOO-epoxyPLPC, and T-epoxyPLPC were detected during the reaction. In liposomes, alpha-tocopherol could partially suppress the formation of hexanal, and the main products were TOO-epoxyPLPC and alpha-tocopherol dimer. The results indicate that alpha-tocopherol may suppress the formation of hexanal by trapping the epoxyperoxyl and epoxyalkyl radicals derived from PLPC-OOH. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

graphicThe o-quinone methide (2) derived from vitamin E (1) can be stabilized at low temperatures in a complex with the highly polar N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (5). The lifetime of 2 can thus be prolonged from less than 10 s to several minutes. In the complex formed, 2 adopts a zwitterionic, aromatic structure with the exocyclic methylene group in perpendicular arrangement to the ring plane, stabilized by the negatively charged oxygen in 5.
