Procedure

To a reaction vial with a TEFLON fluoropolymer magnetic stirring rod, 3 ml containing 0.2 M tert-butyl hydroperoxide and 0.2 M pivalic acid in isooctane was added. The reaction was started by addition of 200 mg of Rhizomucor miehei enzyme and about 10 mg of molsieves (3 grains). After sixty-seven hours, 13% conversion to tert-butyl peroxypivalate was obtained as measured with GC.
