The objective of this work is to perform a theoretical analysis of the antioxidant properties of a series of 8-hydroxyquinolines (8-HQs) to rationalize the available experimental results and to design new potent 8-HQ derivatives. The study was carried out in gas phase and in methanol at the DFT/B3LYP/ 6-311++G(d,p) computational level. The formation of stable ArO• radicals is discussed on the basis of different mechanisms, namely, hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), single electron transfer followed by proton transfer (SET-PT), and single proton loss electron transfer (SPLET). The obtained results show that the HAT mechanism is, thermodynamically, more favoured in gas phase, whereas the SPLET pathway is more favoured in polar solvents. The calculated thermochemical descriptors allow classification of the antioxidant power of the studied compounds.

Sigmatropic rearrangement reaction of cycloprop-2-en-1-ol and its fluorine derivatives has been studied theoretically in gas phase and its energy barrier has been calculated. Nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) shows sigmatropic rearrangement of cycloprop-2-en-1-ol is pericyclic in nature whereas fluorine derivatives show pseudopericyclic and pericyclic nature. Substitution of fluorine atom at ring is found to increase the energy barrier for –OH migration, while substitution at oxygen atom reduces the barrier. To know the involvement of lone pair of electrons during the reaction, lone pair electron present on oxygen atom is locked by hydrogen bonding. CR-CCSD(T)/6-311+G** levels are used to study the reactions more accurately.

As excess electrons are vertically attached to aqueous deoxyribonucleosides, ∼50% of excess electrons would be delocalized over the water molecules.
