Peroxide chemistry

This collection of thirty articles on research projects in all areas of peroxide chemistry are the result of a multidisciplinary research program funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The emphasis was to lie on the development of environmentally acceptable, selective oxidations. One chapter focuses on industrial applications which have to meet both economical and ecological demands to remain competitive in the future. Latest results on the consequences of lipid peroxidation in age-dependent diseases like Alzheimer and Parkinson disorders are also presented.
