propylene the autoxidation of cyclohexane yields cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone. p-xylene is oxidized to terephthalic acid ethylbenzene is oxidized to ethylbenzene hydroperoxide, an epoxidizing agent in the propylene oxide/styrene process POSM See also Photodegradation - this often involves autoxidation processes which are accelerated by UV energy References Organic redox reactions
