The homolytic cleavage of peroxide bonds, leading to the formation of free radicals, plays an important role in the (spontaneous) oxidation of a wide variety of hydrocarbons in the presence of oxygen. Such aerobic oxidations can be desired (e.g. for industrially applied autoxidations) or undesired (e.g. food deterioration). In this contribution we provide experimental and computational evidence for a molecule-induced homolytic dissociation mechanism between alkyl peroxide and compounds featuring weakly bonded H atoms such as (di)unsaturated hydrocarbons.
