Hydroperoksiyhdisteitä
Hydroperoksiyhdisteitä, also known as hydroperoxides, are a class of chemical compounds that contain the hydroperoxy functional group, which consists of an oxygen atom bonded to a hydroxyl group (–OOH). These compounds are characterized by the presence of a peroxide bond (–O–O–) and a hydroxyl group (–OH) attached to the same carbon atom. Hydroperoxides are often intermediates in the oxidation of organic compounds and play a significant role in various chemical processes, including the autoxidation of hydrocarbons and the formation of peroxides in biological systems.
The general structure of hydroperoxides can be represented as R–O–O–H, where R represents an alkyl or aryl
In biological systems, hydroperoxides are produced as byproducts of oxidative stress and can cause damage to
Hydroperoxides have been studied for their potential applications in various fields, including medicine, agriculture, and materials
