- Abstract
- From the experimental crystal structure and ab initio calculations on resveratrol and its derivatives,
structural features of mechanistic importance are described. The molecular structure reveals the
relative coplanarity of the trans-stilbene skeleton, and the molecular packing in the solid state shows
an extensive hydrogen bond network that elucidates the flip-flop motion of the three hydroxyl groups
that alternately form and break H bonds with each of the neighboring phenolic oxygens. The dynamic
behavior provoked by the alternation of hydrogen bond formation and breaking can result in the ready
mobility of up to three hydrogen atoms per resveratrol molecule that can be transferred to reactive
oxidants that are rich in electron density. In addition, theoretical studies confirm the planarity of
resveratrol as well as for half of the molecule of a condensation dimeric derivative of resveratrol,
trans-ó-viniferin. Furthermore, these studies show the p-4¢-OH group to be more acidic compared to
the other two m-OH groups. These features correlate with the biological activity of resveratrol as an
antioxidant and support earlier studies showing H-atom transfer to be the dominant mechanism by
which phenolic antioxidants intercept free radicals. (literal)
