| The disproportionation of chlorine dioxide to chlorate and chlorite in aqueous solution is very slow. |
| Vinyl polyperoxides degrade through two competing reactions, they pyrolyze unimolecularly through a chain unzipping process but they photolyze mainly through a disproportionation mechanism involving hydrogen transfer process. |
| It has been shown above that sulphur disproportionation was probably active in the basin, allowing for a higher fractionation between sulphates and sulphides. |
| It undergoes disproportionation in alkaline media. |
| This is followed by decomposition initiated by radicals generated by the terminal double bonds formed by the disproportionation process. |
| Side reactions might also take place, beside alkylation, namely, disproportionation. |
