Chemical, enzymatic, and electrochemical oxidation of biophenols.

Sara L. Simonson and Bradley E. Sturgeon

The redox properties of phenols can be studied using chemical, enzymatic, and electrochemical methods. Whereas chemical and enzymatic methods have a fixed oxidation potential, electrochemical methods allow for control of the oxidation potential. The oxidation product outcomes (HPLC) from KMnO₄ oxidation, peroxidase/HRP oxidation, and bulk electrolysis of 4-hydroyphenylacetic acid will be presented along with the cyclic voltammetry data. Similar data will be presented for other biologically relevant phenols.
