Re: Autoprotolysis
Yes! After doing a little internet research I found that, generally, a substance containing both hydrogen bonds and lone pairs can potentially experience autoprotolysis. For example, ammonia and acetic acid can both experience autoprotolysis.
Re: Autoprotolysis
Another example is the autoprotolysis of ammonia (NH3). The reaction is 2NH3 (l) <-> NH4+ (aq) + NH2- (aq)

Re: Autoprotolysis
There are numerous examples of autoprotolysis other than H20, since autoprotolysis is the proton transfer between two of the same molecules. An example would be acetic acid: CH3COOH <------> CH3COO- + CH3COOH2+. In addition, the Keq would likely be very very small, favoring the reactants, since they would be the most stable.

Re: Autoprotolysis
Autoprotolysis is simply the proton transfer between two identical compounds, such as water, weak acids, etc.

Re: Autoprotolysis
Usually, a compound that contains both hydrogen bonds and loan pairs can go through autoprotolysis, as this is the proton transfer between two of the same molecules.
