The induced decomposition of t-butyl peroxide in solution. Part III. Decomposition of t-butyl peroxide in alkyl benzyl ethers; steric effects

Product and rate studies of the thermal decomposition of t-butyl peroxide in a series of alkyl benzyl ethers PhCH2·OR (R = Me, Et, Pri, But, or Ph) show little induced decomposition of the peroxide by the ether radical PhĊHOR, whereas in the case of the chloro-substituted ethers ArCH2·OR (Ar = 4-ClC...
