Abstract
Using data on the uptake of oxygen in the oxidation of tetralin (60 °C, initiated with 2,2'-azobis-(isobutyronitrile)), structural effects of N-(4-subst.phenyl)-1,4-phenylenediamines (I) and N-(4-subst.phenyl)-N'-isopropyl-1,4-phenylenediamines (II) influencing the inhibition of the oxidation were determined. In both types of the antidegradants the antioxidant activity is unfavourably affected by the presence of the methoxy group in position 4 of N-phenyl. N-(4-Alkylphenyl) derivatives possess efficiency comparable to, or lower than, that of 4-phenyl derivatives. Compared with II, the antioxidant properties of diamines I are generally better.
