Minsavage, G.D., Dillman lii, J.F. (2007). Bifunctional alkylating agent-induced p53 and nonclassical nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-ICB) responses and cell death are altered by caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) a potential role for antioxidant/elec-trophilic response element (ARE/EpRE) signaling.

The properties of polymers are hardly affected by the incorporation of phosphorus. Diesters of H-phosphonic acid and their inunediate derivatives have found a number of applications in polymer synthesis such as flame retardants, antioxidants, heat and Ught stabilizers, catalysts, degrading agents, and alkylating agents. They are also used as corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, and lubricants (antiwear and load-carrying additives). 

Alkylated diphenylamines and phenothiazine are also used alone or in combination with phenolic antioxidants as antiscorch agents. As a class of antioxidant, alkylated diphenylamines are quite cost effective but often have a propensity to discolor. Phenothiazine is also an effective antiscorch agent when used in combination with phenolic antioxidants. 

The main by-products of this type of process are sulfides and disulfides. The disulfides are formed by the inclusion of an oxidizing agent (generally oxygen) that may be present in the reaction mixture or upon purification. Some of the sulfides formed in this fashion are useful as intermediates for the production of antioxidants. Other mercaptopropionates can be made in similar fashion, if the alkyl acrylate is available. 

Oxidizing agents, e.g., quinones, which were shown to be able to retard oxidation [13] can function as antioxidants (via a chain breaking acceptor process, CB—A) if they can compete with oxygen for the alkyl radicals (Scheme 4). In the case of polymers, reaction 4a can... 

It is often desirable to incorporate chain transfer agents, e.g., do-decylmercaptan in amounts of 0.01-1.0%. In addition, it may be advantageous to include small amounts of antioxidants or stabilizers, such as alkylated phenols. 

Additional uses for higher olefins include the production of epoxides for subsequent conversion into surface-active agents, alkylation of benzene to produce drag-flow reducers, alkylation of phenol to produce antioxidants, oligomerization to produce synthetic waxes (qv), and the production of linear mercaptans for use in agricultural chemicals and polymer stabilizers. Aluminum alkyls can be produced from heavy olefin streams and olefin or paraffin streams have been sulfaled or sulfonated and used in the leather (qv) industry. 

Further developments include for example identification and studies of the substance 109 as a cytotoxic agent <07BP610>, physical studies of, among other related compounds, the system 110 <07JPC(B)7488>, and investigations of 2,3-dihydrobenzo[Z>]selenophene-5-ol antioxidants <07JOC2583>. In addition, tetrahydroselenophenes have been isolated as products from radical annulation of alkyl pent-4-enyl selenides <07TL9077>.
