Methyl 2,2-di(tertiary-butylperoxy)-1-cycloheptanecarboxylate was prepared by the addition of 92.28% TBHP (tertiary butyl hydroperoxide) (12.21 g, 0.1250 mol) to 99% methyl 2-oxo-1-cycloheptanecarboxylate (8.600 g, 0.0500 mol) at room temperature in a three necked 125-mL round bottomed flask equipped with a thermometer and mechanical stirrer. The solution was then cooled via a dry ice-acetone bath to −5° C. and 78% sulfuric acid (7.540 g, 0.0600 mol) was added dropwise to the solution with temperature at −5° C. Upon completion of the addition of sulfuric acid, the solution was allowed to reach 5° C. where it was maintained by an ice-water bath for ninety minutes with mechanical stirring. The reaction was transferred to a separatory funnel and the lower acidic aqueous layer separated and discarded. The organic layer was then washed with saturated NaCl solution until the aqueous washings had a pH of 4.5 or greater. The organic layer was then dried over MgSO4, filtered through a Buchner funnel and analyzed by gas chromatography. The purity was found to be 17%. This product was not purified due to low conversion of product.
