Introduction: Phenolic compounds play a major role in the chemistry of living organisms and life-supporting substances. The enormous interest in their antioxidant activity in vitro and in vivo is demonstrated by a wealth of research in recent years and also by frequent reports in the popular literature.' Aging, food, and wine, are indeed three topics which stimulate everybody's interest. The properties of the 0-H bond appear to be essential to understanding the chemical and biochemical behavior of phenolic compounds, for this is the bond that must be broken to generate the tnily active species: the phenoxy radicals. It is thus not surprising that a large number of current studies, using a diversity of modem experimental and computational tools, have been addressing the kinetic and the thermodynamic stabilities of the phenolic bond and how these stabilities are affected by the number, nature, and position of the substituent in the aromatic ring. Despite all the efforts, the present knowledge on the energetics.
