The 2-t-butylazo-2-(t-amylperoxy)-4-methoxy-4-methylpentane was prepared in 97% crude yield from 7.78 grams (0.0331 moles) of 2-t-butylazo-2-chloro-4-methoxy-4-methylpentane, 5.35 grams (0.0464 moles) of 90% t-amyl hydroperoxide and 7.92 grams (0.0353 moles) of 25% potassium hydroxide solution. The procedure was the same as that described in Example XX. The infrared spectrum of the product indicated there was a small amount of 2-t-butylazo-2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-4-methylpentane present in the product.
