Experimental
Materials
Solvents (chlorobenzene and acetonitrile) and organic acids (acetic acid, benzoic acid, dichloroacetic
acid, trichloroacetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid and 4-toluensulfonic acid) were of the highest grade
commercially available (Fluka-Aldrich) and were used as received. α,α’-Azobis(isobutyronitrile), AIBN
(Aldrich), was stored at –20°C and used without further purification. 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine-N-
oxide (TEMPO) and 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethyl-chroman-6-ol (Aldrich) were stored at +5°C and used without
further purification. 1-Hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (TEMPO-H) was prepared from TEMPO
according to literature.1 Briefly, a dichloromethane solution was vigorously stirred under N2 with an
aqueous solution of excess Na2S2O4 at r.t. for 60 min. The organic layer was separated, dried over dry
Na2SO4, concentrated under vacuum, then completely removed under a stream of nitrogen. The crude
hydroxylamine was purified by sublimation. 1H-NMR (CD3CN): δ 1.1 (s, 12H), 1.5 (s, 6H), 4.3 (br s,
1H); IR: νOH 3595 cm-1 (CCl4). Styrene (Aldrich, 99+%) and cumene (Aldrich) were distilled under
reduced pressure and percolated twice trough silica and once through activated basic alumina. Di-tert-
butylperoxide (Aldrich) was percolated twice trough through activated basic alumina.
Autoxidation Studies
Autoxidation experiments were performed in a two-channel oxygen uptake apparatus, based on a
Validyne® DP 15 differential pressure transducer, described elsewhere.2 The entire apparatus was
immersed in a thermostated bath ensuring a constant temperature within ±0.1 °C.
Peroxyl radicals kinetics.
In a typical experiment, an air-saturated solution of styrene (4.3 M, 50% v/v) in acetonitrile (or
chlorobenzene) containing AIBN (5×10-2 M) was equilibrated with a reference solution containing an

excess of 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethyl-chroman-6-ol (PMC; 1×10-4 M) at 30 °C. When a constant oxygen
consumption rate was reached, a small amount of a solution of the antioxidant was added to the
autoxidizing mixture and the oxygen consumption in the sample was measured from the differential
pressure between the two channels recorded as a function of time. Induction (inhibition) period lengths
(τ) were determined by the intersection between the regression lines to the inhibited and the uninhibited
traces. Initiation rates, Ri, were determined in preliminary experiments by the inhibitor method using
PMC as reference antioxidant: Ri=2[PMC]/τ. The absolute rate constant for inhibition kinh was obtained
by equation 1,3 where kp is the propagation rate constant, that in the case of styrene is 41 M-1s-1.3

In the case of compounds which did not give a clear induction period, the kinh value was determined by
means of a kinetic treatment consisting in the measure of the initial rates of oxidation of styrene both in
the presence (-d[O2]/dt =Rox) and in the absence ((-d[O2]/dt)0 =Rox,0) of antioxidant, AH, and calculating
kinh from these data by means of Equation (2).2

This equation allows evaluation of kinh even when the rates of inhibition and termination are comparable.
The use of equation (2) requires knowledge of the initiation rate Ri and of the termination constant 2kt for
the self-combination of styrylperoxyl radicals (2kt = 2.1x107 M–1s–1).3 Experiments were performed using
TEMPO-H or TEMPO in the concentration range (0.1-10) x 10-5 M. Experiments with TEMPO (tipically
1.25x10-5M) were performed both in the absence and in the presence of variable amounts of organic acids
0.4-43mM (acetic, dichloroacetic, trichloroacetic, trifluoroacetic, benzoic, p-toluenesulfonic). Preliminary
experiments showed that, using acetonitrile as solvent, the rate of uninhibited styrene autoxidation is not

affected by small additions of acids or water. Hence we could establish that observed effects of acid
additions are not due to changes in the rate of propagation kp or termination 2kt.

in the absence of TEMPO did not produce any significant variation of the oxygen consumption kinetics.

Effect of acids (in the absence of TEMPO) on the autoxidation of styrene.
A set of styrene autoxidation experiments was performed to rule out the possibility that the observed acid
catalysis on the antioxidant activity of TEMPO was due to some interference of the acids themselves on
styrene autoxidations, e.g. by altering the rate of initiation, the rate of propagation, or its oxidizability (=
kp/(2kt)1/2). In other words we checked whether the acids themselves, in the absence of TEMPO or any
other antioxidant, had any antioxidant (or pro-oxidant) activity. Oxygen consumption was recorded
during a set of identical styrene autoxidation experiments at 303K initiated by 0.05M AIBN in the
absence or presence on 1-10 mM acetic, trichloroacetic, trifluoroacetic, or para-toluensulfonic acid. As
illustrated in figure S6, no significant variation of the rate of oxygen consumption was observed,
suggesting that, under our experimental conditions, acids have no influence on styrene autoxidation.
Nevertheless, by experimental design, any of the kinetic measurement in the presence of TEMPO + acids
was benchmarked versus a corresponding oxygen-consumption plot, recorded during the same
experiment, first on the uninhibited autoxidation of styrene alone and subsequently on a uninhibited
autoxidation of styrene in the presence of the desired amount of acid. The desired amount of TEMPO was
then injected in the latter autoxidating mixture after about 1000s.

Autoxidations of Cumene
To check the independence of the observed acid-catalysis of the oxidizable substrate, a parallel set of
autoxidation experiments was performed using cumene as oxidizable substrate in place of styrene, under
otherwise identical experimental settings. The reaction sequence for cumene is illustrated in scheme S2,
were the propagation rate constant is kp = 0.32 M-1s-1. Qualitatively similar results were obtained as
illustrated in figure S7.

Deuterium kinetic Isotope Effect.
To measure the Deuterium Kinetic Isotope Effect, in styrene inhibited autoxidation experiments, 1% D2O
or 1% H2O was added to dry acetonitrile in matched sets of 4.3M styrene autoxidation experiments, in the
presence of 4.3 mM CD3COOD (or CH3COOH) or 3.3 CF3COOD (or CF3COOH), initiated by 0.05 M
AIBN and inhibited by 1.25x10-5M TEMPO at 303K. Under the above experimental settings deuteration
of the mobile hydrogens in the antioxidant species is achieved by H → D dynamic exchange.5 Each
measurement was performed in triplicate and results in Table S2 are expressed as average ± 2SD.

Autoxidations inhibited by TEMPO-H
In order to evaluate the possible contribution of the corresponding hydroxylamine TEMPO-H, formed by
disproportionation of TEMPO under acidic conditions (vide infra), to the observed inhibition of styrene
(or cumene) autoxidation in the presence of organic acids, we performed a parallel set of autoxidation
experiments in acetonitrile or chlorobenzene, using a pure specimen of TEMPO-H as antioxidant, both in
the absence and presence of growing amounts of acetic acid. While TEMPO-H itself possesses good
chain-breaking antioxidant activity (kinh = 2.4 x 106 M-1s-1 in MeCN and 3.0 x 106 M-1s-1in ClBz at 303K),
no significant acid-catalysis was recorded by addition of 1-10 mM acetic acid. As can be observed in
Figure S9, the slope of the inhibited period (ca. 2000s) is identical within experimental error in the
presence or absence of the acid, while the addition of acetic acid (progressively) decreases the slope of
the uninhibited period, where the hydroxylamine (TEMPO-H) has been quantitatively converted in the
corresponding nitroxide (TEMPO). Hence the reactivity of TEMPO but not that of TEMPO-H with
peroxyl radicals is catalyzed by acetic acid.

Time-course of TEMPO during autoxidations
Matched sets of autoxidation experiments (50% v/v MeCN in styrene, [AIBN] = 0.05M, air saturated)
inhibited by 1.25x10-5M TEMPO in the presence of variable amounts of organic acids were run either in
the oxygen uptake apparatus (vide supra) on in the cavity of the EPR spectrometer at 303K in an open 4
mm ID quartz tube. In EPR experiments the time-evolution of the concentration of TEMPO was
monitored at regular intervals, both from the intensity of the first spectral line (aN= 15.6 G, g = 2.0062)
and from the double integral of the EPR spectrum. With dichloroacetic, trichloroacetic, trifluoroacetic and
p-toluensulfonic acids, TEMPO was completely consumed approximately within the inhibition time τ (ca.
2000 s), while with acetic or benzoic acids TEMPO showed slower or no decay during monitoring times
up to 4τ.

Disproportionation of TEMPO
The disproportionation of TEMPO in acetonitrile or chlorobenzene in the presence of variable amounts of
p-toluensulfonic, acetic, or trifluoroacetic acids was investigated by EPR spectroscopy at 298K by
monitoring the decay of 1-5x10-4M TEMPO from the intensity of its first spectral line, or from the double
integral of its full spectrum. With any investigated acid at any tested concentration the decay was very
slow, following apparent second-order kinetics in accordance to scheme S3. The apparent bimolecular
rate constant k2 grew with the concentration and pKa of the acid, in excellent agreement with the results of
a recent investigation in water.6 The maximum values of k2 recorded in our measurements (with acid
concentrations much larger than those used in our autoxidations) are collected in table S3, while some
representative kinetic traces are displayed in figure S11.
