- Abstract
The peculiarities of the catalytic action of cationic surfactants (CSurf) in combination with hydroperoxides on the generation of radicals and the influence of various factors on this process (transition metal compounds, oxygen, and external magnetic field) were considered. In the oxidized hydrocarbons (RH), hydroperoxides (ROOH), which are the primary amphiphilic products of oxidation, form mixed micelles { mROOH... nCSurf} with CSurf, in which fast decomposition of ROOH into radicals occurs and other polar components (metal compounds, inhibitors, etc.) can concentrate, which significantly affects the rate and mechanism of oxidation. The cationic surfactants immobilized on a solid support retain the ability to catalyze the decomposition of hydroperoxides, forming radicals, and to initiate radical oxidation and polymerization. It was found that acetylcholine, which is the most important neurotransmitter that plays an important role in the neuromuscular and cognitive activity of living beings, like cationic surfactants, catalyzes the radical decomposition of hydroperoxides in organic media, and the yield of radicals in this process decreases in a magnetic field and in the presence of oxygen.
