Two principal exceptions are resin breakdown caused by sustained exposure to ionizing nuclear radiation and powerful chemical oxidizing agents such as nitric acid, chromic(VI) acid, chlorate(V) ions, halogens, and peroxy compounds. Even saturation levels of dissolved oxygen in the presence of transition metal cations may initiate chemical breakdown albeit only relatively slowly at ambient temperatures. 

CsHgC, Mr 136.15, pi.85kPa 132 °C, df 1.1192, n 1.5703, occurs in many essential oils, often together with anethole. It is a colorless to slightly yellowish liquid with a sweet, mimosa, hawthorn odor. p-Anisaldehyde can be hydrogenated to anise alcohol and readily oxidizes to anisic acid when exposed to air. Synthetic routes to anisaldehyde start from p-cresyl methyl ether, which is oxidized e.g. by manganese dioxide or by oxygen or peroxy compounds in the presence of transition metal catalysts [170], [171]. 

The present volume comprises 17 chapters, written by 27 authors from 11 countries, and deals with theoretical aspects and structural chemistry of peroxy compounds, with their thermochemistry, O NMR spectra and analysis, extensively with synthesis of cyclic peroxides and with the uses of peroxides in synthesis, and with peroxides in biological systems. Heterocyclic peroxides, containing silicon, germanium, sulfur and phosphorus, as well as transition metal peroxides are treated in several chapters. Special chapters deal with allylic peroxides, advances in the chemistry of dioxiranes and dioxetanes, and chemiluminescence of peroxide and with polar effects of their decomposition. A chapter on anti-malarial and anti-tumor peroxides, a hot topic in recent research of peroxides, closes the book.
