Reaction Steps

2-t-Butylazoxy-2-methoxypropane was prepared by oxidizing 7.9 grams (0.05 moles) 2-t-butylazo-2-methoxypropane with 50 ml. of 25% peracetic acid in ethyl acetate at 30°-40° C. for 2 hours. The yield was 7.3 grams (84% yield) of a colorless liquid. The infrared spectrum of the product was in agreement with the structure of 2-t-butylazoxy-2-methoxypropane (2 strong bands at 1450-1510 cm-1).
