Preparing peroxides

The quest for beryllium peroxides.

There is no experimental proof documented in the literature for the existence of any beryllium peroxide compound. All recent pertinent preparative attempts described in this work, using a range of beryllium salts with various peroxides as reagents under mild conditions, were equally unsuccessful. (1)H and (9)Be NMR investigations of aqueous solutions containing beryllium salts and hydrogen pero...

Peroxides and Peroxide Forming Compounds

Inorganic and organic peroxides, because of their exceptional reactivity and oxidative potential are widely used in research laboratories. This review is intended to serve as a guide to the hazards and safety issues associated with the laboratory use, handling, and storage of inorganic and organic peroxy-compounds and peroxide-forming compounds. The relatively weak oxygen-oxygen linkage (bond-d...

Organic Peroxides in Radical Synthesis Reactions

Lipid peroxides level in the Indonesian elderly

A cross-sectional study was done to see the possible association of plasma lipid peroxides in the elderly with age and other factors. Plasma lipid peroxides is a product of free radical reactions which according to the latest theory of aging is the cause of aging process. Lipid peroxides were also found high in coronary heart disease. Four hundred forty relatively healthy elderly, age 55-85 yea...
