Lacking of this vitamin makes drastic exchanges on the health of the living organisms. Their active chemical form is l-α-tocopherol substance. In this article, α-thiotocopherol a tocopherol derivative was synthesized via a precursor like dl-α-tocopherol, which has better antioxidant than natural α-tocopherol. And the last compound after separation and purification via TLC and PC procedures was analyzed by FTIR, GC-MS and elemental analysis, oxidative stability is tested with TGA method in air showing roughly antioxidant effect. Another approach is measurment of redox potential against a reference electrode under inert nitrogen atmosphere.展开更多
