Peroxynitrite mediated oxidations: Spin trap studies; nitration and hydroxylation of phenol result from different intermediates; CO(2) catalyzes the decomposition of peroxynitrite

In the first project the spin trap DMPO was used to probe for the production of hydroxyl radicals from peroxynitrite. Peroxynitrite reacts with DMPO to give ;In the second project, we have examined the formation of hydroxyphenols, nitrophenols, and the minor products 4-nitrosophenol, benzoquinone, 2,2;The third project is a study of the reaction of peroxynitrite with limiting concentrations of CO...
