HCID 203679041-t-Butylazo-1-(t-amylperoxy)cyclohexane

Procedure

The 1-t-butylazo-1-(t-amylperoxy)cyclohexane was prepared in 85% crude yield from 7.5 grams (.037 moles) of 1-t-butylazo-1-chlorocyclohexane, 6.0 grams (.052 moles) of 90% t-amyl hydroperoxide and 9.1 grams (.0407 moles) of 25% potassium hydroxide solution. The procedure was the same as that described in Example XX. The infrared spectrum of the product indicated there was a small amount of 1-t-butylazo-1-hydroxycyclohexane present in the product.
