Reaction Steps

A 19.1% solution of TBHP in TBA decomposed over a commercial 0.15% Pd, 0.15% Pt on alumina gave (80° C., 0.5 space velocity) 74.2 TBHP conversion with selectivity to TBA of 84.1%, DTBP 5.0%, acetone 10.9%, and methanol 2.6%. Minor products including carboxylic acids were also formed.
