Abstract

Absolute rate constants have been measured for the reactions of the protonated forms of chlorpromazine and promethazine, CZH+ and PZH+, with the electrophilic radicals .OH, Br 2-., (SCN)2-., I2 -., N3., Tl2+, Tl(OH)+, (t-C4H9S t-C4H9)+., (CH3SSCH3)+., and lipoate+. in the pH range 2-8. Values for these one-electron oxidations vary from k = 3.1 × 108 mol-1 dm3 s-1 for [(t-C 4H9S t-C4H9)+. + PZH +] to 5.5 × 109 mol-1 dm3 s-1 for (Br2-. + CZH+). The yields of the oxidation products, PTZH2+., vary from 28% for (.OH + CZH+) to 97% for [(SCN)2.- + CZH +]. The PTZH2+. radical cations exhibit characteristic absorption spectra with two maxima around 270 and 510 nm, and extinction coefficients of Sε(CZH2+.) = 56 000 mol-1 dm 3 cm-1 at 270 nm and 12 000 mol-1 dm 3 cm-1 at 510 nm, and ε(PZH2+.) = 62 500 mol-1 dm3 cm-1 at 265 nm and 9 500 mol -1 dm3 cm-1 at 505 nm. A transient absorption around 350 nm observed in the reaction of the phenothiazines with hydroxyl radicals is most probably the .OH-adduct, PTZH(OH)+.. The mechanism of the .OH-radical-induced oxidation of phenothiazines suggested in an earlier publication has been confirmed and enlarged.
