Reaction Steps

Into a 200 ml beaker were charged 50 g of 1-hydroperoxy-1,3-dimethyl butyl peroxy-2-ethyl hexanoate (0.06 mole) in n-decane, 10 g of NaCl-25%, and 20 g of demi-water. The pH was adjusted with KOH-45% to 13.5 at a temperature of 8-12° C. Then 9.8 g of 2-ethylhexanoyl chloride were dosed in 20 minutes simultaneously with the lye, with the pH kept at >13.5. The mixture was stirred for another 60 minutes at 5-8° C. After separation of the water layer, the remaining hydroperoxide was reduced with a sulphite reduction. The organic layer was washed with NaHCO3-6%. The product was dried over magnesium sulphate. Yield: 47.4 g of product with an active oxygen content of 3.77% (chemical yield:93%). Ratio mono:bis=1:99.
