Abstract

Decompositions of bis (tert-buty1peroxy) cycloalkanes have been carried out in cumene and n-alkanes at temperatures of 8U-120 OC and have been compared mainly with the decompasition of tert-alkyl tert-butyl peroxides in order to investigate substituent effects on the homolytic scission of one 0-0 bond in gem-diperoxides. The decomposition rates of bie (tert-butylperoxy) cycloalkanes are much faster than those of tert-alkyl tert-butyl peroxides; ...
