The metal-independent decomposition of organic hydroperoxides and the formation of organic alkoxyl radicals in the absence or presence of halogenated quinones were studied with electron spin resonance (ESR) and the spin-trapping agent 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO). We found that 2,5-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (DCBQ) markedly enhanced the decomposition of tert-butylhydroperoxide (t-BuOOH), leading to the formation of the DMPO adducts with t-butoxyl radicals (t-BuObullet) and methyl radicals (bulletCH3). The formation of DMPO/t-BuObullet and DMPO/bulletCH3 was dose-dependent with respect to both DCBQ and t-BuOOH and was not affected by iron- or copper-specific metal chelators. Comparison of the data obtained with DCBQ and t-BuOOH with those obtained in a parallel study with ferrous iron and t-BuOOH strongly suggested that t-BuObullet was produced by DCBQ and t-BuOOH through a metal-independent mechanism. Other halogenated quinones were also found to enhance the decomposition of t-BuOOH and other organic hydroperoxides such as cumene hydroperoxide, leading to the formation of the respective organic alkoxyl radicals in a metal-independent manner. Based on these data, we propose a mechanism for DCBQ-mediated t-BuOOH decomposition and formation of t-BuObullet: a nucleophilic attack of t-BuOOH on DCBQ, forming a chloro-t-butylperoxyl-1,4-benzoquinone intermediate, which decomposes homolytically to produce t-BuObullet. This represents a mechanism of organic alkoxyl radical formation not requiring the involvement of redox-active transition metal ions.
