Covering the chemistry of liquid-phase oxidation of organic compounds, this book includes the results of analysis with the parabolic model as applied to reactions of peroxyl radicals with C-H bond of different organic compounds. It supplies chemical mechanistic information about antioxidants and their action on the autoxidation of hydrocarbons, alcohols, and other organic compounds and polymers. The authors explore the development of the theory of antioxidant reactivity using the conception of intersection of parabolic potential curves and discuss the physiological and pathophysiological oxidative processes mediated by free radical activity.
