Os hidroperóxidos xogan un importante papel en bioloxía. Coñécense centos de hidroperóxidos, ue derivan de [[ácido graxo|ácidos graxos]], [[esteroide]]s, e [[terpeno]]s. A biosíntese destas especies é efectuada por [[enzima]]s.
Hydroperoxides play important roles in biology. Hundreds of hydroperoxides are known, being derived from fatty acids, steroids, and terpenes. The biosynthesis of these species is effected extensively by enzymes.

Auto-oxidation reaction is observed with common [[ether]]s, such as [[diethyl ether]], [[diisopropyl ether]], [[tetrahydrofuran]] or [[1,4-dioxane]]. An illustrative product is [[diethyl ether peroxide]]. Such compounds can result in a serious explosion.
