  • Refers to Chain reaction providing a continuous supply of free radicals that initiates further peroxidation.The wholee process is given below:

 

  1. Initiation:

X’ + RH –> R’ + XH

 

  1. Propagation:

R’ + O2 –> ROO’

ROO’ + RH à ROOH + R’

 

  1. Termination:

ROO’ + ROO’ —> ROOR + O2

ROO’ + R’–> ROOR

R’ + R’ –> RR
