Simple ethers inhibit the reduction of low-molecular peroxides, including the peroxides of the ethers themselves. The reduction potential of diethyl ether peroxide against a background of 0.1 N solutions of HCl and LiCl (in the absence of ether) is equal to –0.21 V.

Diethyl ether peroxide, isolated in pure form, undergoes a slow change accompanied by a decrease in the active oxygen content and a shift of the half-wave potential in the direction of more positive values.
