Part I. Comparison of nitric oxide and propylene as inhibitors The reduction by propylene of the rate of pressure increase in the decomposition of propaldehyde at 550° has been shown by chemical analysis to represent a true inhibition of the reaction, and not to be due n an important degree to an induced polymerization of the propylene. With propaldehyde and with diethyl ether the limiting values to which the decomposition rates are reduced by nitric oxide and by propylene respectively are the same, although much more propylene is required to produce a given degree of inhibition. From this it is concluded that the limiting rates are more probably those of independent non-chain processes, than those characteristic of stationary states where the inhibitor starts and stops chains with equal efficiency.

Sulfinic acids are characterized to be very good H-atom donors to each of alkyl and alkoxyl radicals. In order to participate in useful radical chain reactions, the sulfonyl radicals must undergo fast propagating reactions to avoid autoxidation, which is surprisingly rate-limited by the reaction of sulfonyl radicals with oxygen.

Autoxidation is an autocatalytic free-radical chain reaction responsible for the oxidative destruction of organic molecules in biological cells, foods, plastics, petrochemicals, fuels, and the environment. In cellular membranes, lipid autoxidation (peroxidation) is linked with oxidative stress, age-related diseases, and cancers. The established mechanism of autoxidation proceeds via H-atom abstraction through a cyclic network of peroxy–hydroperoxide-mediated free-radical chain reactions. For a series of model unsaturated lipids, we present evidence for an autoxidation mechanism, initiated by hydroxyl radical (OH) addition to C=C bonds and propagated by chain reactions involving Criegee intermediates (CIs). This mechanism leads to unexpectedly rapid autoxidation even in the presence of water, implying that as reactive intermediates, CI could play a much more prominent role in chemistries beyond the atmosphere.
