Antioxidant activity organosulfur compounds

In addition, many of the organosulfur compounds and organometallic compounds used in rubber compounds as vulcanization accelerators are known to have antioxidant activity. Mercaptobenzimidazole and its zinc salt have been shown to have antioxidant activity. In addition, mercaptobenzimidazole, when combined with other known antioxidants, has been shown to have a synergistic effect in oxidation prevention when metal ion catalyzed oxidation is prevalent. Also, metal and amine salts of dialkyldithio-carbarnates have been shown to have antioxidant action.
