Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Division of chemical science Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The radicals formed in the autooxidation of ethoxyquin decompose with elimination of a methyl radical which is converted into methyl hydroperoxide.

  2. 2.

    Autocatalysis in the oxidation of ethoxyquin by molecular oxygen results from the free radicals formed in the reaction of methyl hydroperoxide with the ethoxyquin.
