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 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid in isooctane was added. The reaction was started by addition of 200 mg of Candida antartica enzyme and about 10 mg of molsieves (3 grains). After twenty-fourand one-half hours, 11.2% conversion to tert-butyl peroxy-3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate was obtained as measured with GC.
