A theoretical study of ascorbic acid oxidation and HOO[radical dot]/O2[radical dot]- radical scavenging

Yi-Jung Tu, David Njus, H. Bernhard Schlegel

Ascorbate radical disproportionates by forming a dimer, cyclizing and dissociating to yield ascorbic acid and the most stable hydrated, bicyclic form of dehydroascorbic acid; radical scavenging by ascorbate radical can proceed by a similar mechanism.
