    The Fenton reaction involves the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by iron salts, generating the reactive hydroxyl radical that can damage biological molecules. Adding a reducing agent like ascorbate can lead to a cycle that further increases this damage through an iron-catalyzed process.

    Fenton reaction Fe2+ + H2O2 Fe3+ + OH. + OH .

    . This is the iron-salt-dependent decomposition of dihydrogen peroxide, generating the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, possibly via an oxoiron(IV) intermediate. Addition of a reducing agent, such as ascorbate, leads to a cycle which increases the damage to biological molecules. See also Haber-Weiss reaction. 1997, 69, 1274
