Abstract: A compound of Formula I, Formula IA, Formula IB, or Formula II, or an acid or base addition salt thereof, and use of these compounds as antioxidants. In one embodiment, a compound of Formula II, wherein each of X, Y, and Z are independently a carbon or nitrogen atom; R1 and R2 are each independently a hydrogen or an electron donating group, but are not both hydrogen, and wherein R1, and R2 are each bonded to a carbon atom in their own respective aryl ring.

Abstract: The present application provides compound of Formula X wherein A is an optionally substituted aliphatic or an optionally substituted aryl, and B is a moiety that stabilizes the partial positive charge at the carbon adjacent the divalent sulfur. The compound of Formula X is useful as a reversible antioxidant in a variety of applications. Also provided are methods of synthesizing the compound of Formula X.

Abstract: The use of a mixture of 5-pyrimidinol derivatives with sterically hindered phenol derivatives for adjusting the reactivity and the gel time of resin mixtures and reactive resin mortars based on radically polymerizable compounds is described. Furthermore, a resin mixture containing the inhibitor combination, a reactive resin mortar containing this resin mixture and two-component mortar systems with the reactive resin mortar according to the invention and a hardener with improved stability in storage and good low-temperature hardening properties are also described. The resin mixture according to the invention is suitable in particular for chemical fastening of construction elements in boreholes in various substrates.

Abstract: Compounds, preferably 5-pyrimidinol and 3-pyridinol derivatives, that act as effective chain breaking antioxidants of both the lipid and water-soluble variety (analogous to the natural Vitamins E and C), many of which are more reactive toward peroxyl radicals than the most potent form of Vitamin E. These compounds may exhibit many chemopreventive effects associated with conditions in which free radical-mediated cellular damage or disruption is implicated and Vitamins E and C are shown to have protective effects. Additionally, these compounds should be excellent oxidation inhibitors as additives to fuels, lubricants, rubber, polymers, chemicals, solvents and foodstuffs.
