Radical antioxidants : Carbon‐centered radicals, which exist in thermal equilibrium with their dimers in solution, show unexpectedly low reactivity with molecular oxygen. Nevertheless their high reactivity with peroxyl radicals makes them a promising new class of chain‐breaking antioxidants (see scheme).
