1,8-Naphthalenediol, 5, and its 4-methoxy derivative, 6, were found to be potent H-atom transfer (HAT) compounds on the basis of their rate constants for H-atom transfer to the 2,2-di(4-t-octylphenyl)-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DOPPH*), k(ArOH/DOPPH)*, or as antioxidants during inhibited styrene autoxidation, k(ArOH/ROO)*, initiated with AIBN. The rate constants showed that 5 and 6 are more active HAT compounds than the ortho-diols, catechol, 1, 2,3-naphthalenediol, 2, and 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol, 3. Compound 6 has almost twice the antioxidant activity, k(ArOH/ROO)* = 6.0 x 10(6) M(-)(1) s(-1), of that of the vitamin E model compound, 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethyl-6-chromanol, 4. Calculations of the O-H bond dissociation enthalpies compared to those of phenols, (deltaBDEs), of 1-6 predict a HAT order of reactivity of 2 < 1 < 3 approximately 4 < 5 < 6 in general agreement with kinetic results. Calculations on the diols show that intramolecular H-bonding stabilizes the radicals formed on H-atom transfer more than it does the parent diols, and this effect contributes to the increased HAT activity of 5 and 6 compared to the activities of the catechols. For example, the increased stabilization due to the intramolecular H-bond of 5 radical over 5 parent of 8.6 kcal/mol was about double that of 2 radical over 2 parent of 4.6 kcal/mol. Linear free energy plots of log k(ArOH/DOPPH)* and log k(ArOH/ROO)* versus deltaBDEs for compounds 1-6 along with available literature values for nonsterically hindered monophenols placed the compounds on common scales. The derived Evans-Polanyi constants from the plots for the two reactions, alpha(DOPPH)* = 0.48 > alpha(ROO)* = 0.32, gave the expected order, since the ROO* reaction is more exothermic than the DOPPH* reaction. Compound 6 is sufficiently reactive to react directly with oxygen, and it lies off the log k(ArOH/ROO)* versus deltaBDE plot.
