Only a strong base can stop it from disproportionation.

Another reaction that can sometimes occur instead of disproportionation is recombination.

The first disproportionation reaction to be studied in detail was:

It can also be made by careful disproportionation of hypobromous acid.

It is made by disproportionation of phosphorus in warm alkali.

Manganic acid cannot be formed because of its rapid disproportionation.

In solution, it is unstable with respect to the disproportionation reaction:

One can understand this as you must break a ring at more than one site to actually undergo a disproportionation reaction.

The conversion does not involve redox, in contrast to disproportionation reactions.

Alkyl radical disproportionation has been studied extensively in scientific literature.

The disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide creates water and oxygen, as shown below.

If their crystals are heated, they undergo a further, final disproportionation:

Other atoms such as halogens may also be abstracted during a disproportionation reaction.

This reaction results in disproportionation, producing a mixture of alcohol and carboxylic acid.

In this reaction chlorine undergoes disproportionation, both reduction and oxidation.

Disproportionation happens when an electron from one atom is taken by another one, making two different chemicals.

Their frequency is linearly associated to the charge per molecule giving the opportunity to determine the degree of disproportionation.

Hypochlorites are also produced by the disproportionation of chlorine gas in alkaline solutions.

Many polymer chemists are concerned with limiting the rate of disproportionation during polymerization.

Formerly the reaction had been called "olefin disproportionation."

Termination by disproportionation occurs when an atom is transferred from one polymer free radical to another.

Similar to disproportionation, the recombination reaction is exothermic and requires little to no activation energy.

This can be explained by the formation of free radical intermediate and its subsequent disproportionation to give alkene.

Similar to disproportionation, all chain transfer mechanisms also involve the abstraction of a hydrogen atom.

One is the disproportionation of xenates to perxenates and xenon:
