Induced decomposition of acetylcyclohexylsulfonyl peroxide

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00707044

The kinetics of thermal decomposition of acetylcyclohexylsulfonyl peroxide is studied in a n-decane solution in an oxygen atmosphere (303-333 K) and under anaerobic conditions (313-333 K); the reaction products are also studied in a cyclohexane solution under oxygen-free conditions (323 K).In the absence of oxygen, the reaction is found to proceed via a chain-radical mechanism.Some kinetic parameters of the process are determined. - Key words: acetylcyclohexylsulfonyl peroxide, induced decomposition.
