Encyclopedia: Autoxidation
Autoxidation is any oxidation that occurs in open air or in presence of oxygen and/or UV radiation and forms peroxides and hydroperoxides. A classic example of autoxidation is that of simple ethers li...

Autoxidation of oxyhaemoglobin (oxyHb) to methaemoglobin was measured at different temperatures in haemoglobin solutions from Atlantic hagfish, river lamprey, common carp, yellowfin tuna and pig. The rate of autoxidation was lower in hagfish than in carp, yellowfin tuna and lamprey haemoglobins at any given temperature.

The neurotoxic gamma-diketone, Current evidence implicates this reaction as the potentially critical step in gamma-diketone neurotoxicity, although it is unclear whether pyrrole formation per se is sufficient to induce neuropathy or whether secondary Covalent crosslinking of pyrrole-BSA was pH- dependent,

There is a possibility that prolonged exposure in air induces autoxidation to produce explosive organic peroxides during transportation and storage of DME. Therefore, the reactivity of DME with oxygen and the mechanism of the autoxidation were investigated.
