The electron transfer reactions between the trichloromethylperoxyl radical (Cl3COO*) and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, including chlorogenic acid, sinapic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid and 3,4-(methylenedioxy)cinnamic acid, have been studied by pulse radiolysis. The hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, especially sinapic acid, are identified
