ABSTRACT
A large kinetic isotope effect (KIE, kH/kD) of 12.8 was observed for the hydrogen-transfer reaction from ascorbic acid to 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl 3-oxide (PTIOË) in a phosphate buffer solution (0.05 M, pH/pD 7.0) at 298 K. The isotopic difference in the activation energies (6.8 kJ mol-1) determined from the temperature dependence of the KIE suggests that quantum mechanical tunneling may partly play a role in the reaction, although the isotopic ratio of the Arrhenius prefactor (AH/AD = 0.86) is within the semiclassical limits.
