[OH:1][OH:2].[C:3]([O:8]C)([CH2:6][CH3:7])([CH3:5])[CH3:4]>>[C:3]([O:8][OH:1])([CH2:6][CH3:7])([CH3:5])[CH3:4].[C:3]([O:1][O:2][C:3]([CH2:6][CH3:7])([CH3:5])[CH3:4])([CH2:6][CH3:7])([CH3:5])[CH3:4]Participants
Procedure
In similar manner, although optimal conditions may vary, hydrogen peroxide may be reacted with methyl t-amyl ether to provide t-amyl hydroperoxide or di-t-amyl peroxide; with methyl t-hexyl ether to provide t-hexyl hydroperoxide or di-t-hexyl peroxide; with ethyl t-butyl ether to provide t-butyl hydroperoxide or di-t-butyl peroxide; with ethyl t-amyl ether to provide t-amyl hydroperoxide or di-t-amyl peroxide; with ethyl t-hexyl ether to provide t-hexyl hydroperoxide or di-t-hexyl peroxide; with n-propyl t-butyl ether to provide t-butyl hydroperoxide or di-t-butyl peroxide; with n-propyl t-amyl ether to provide t-amyl hydroperoxide or di t-amyl peroxide; or with n-propyl t-hexyl ether to provide t-hexyl hydroperoxide or di-t-hexyl peroxide. Illustrative of reactions employing hydroperoxide reactants are the reaction of t-butyl hydroperoxide with methyl t-butyl ether to provide di-t-butyl peroxide; the reaction of t-hexyl hydroperoxide with methyl t-hexyl ether to provide di-t-hexyl peroxide; the reaction of t-butyl hydroperoxide with methyl t-amyl ether to provide t-butyl t-amyl peroxide; the reaction of t-butyl hydroperoxide with methyl t-hexyl ether to provide t-butyl t-hexyl peroxide; and the reaction of t-amyl hydroperoxide with ethyl t-hexyl ether to provide t-amyl t-hexyl peroxide.
