Products analyses of the thermolyses of the peroxides CH2=CH-(CH2)nOOtBu, 1, (n=1-5) showed that an induced decomposition of 1 occurred for n=1,2,3,4.Free radical additions of THF, carbon tetrachloride, bromotrichloromethane to 1 have been performed at lower temperature; they allowed, through the isolation of an adduct peroxide, at least in one case for each peroxide, to prove that a two-steps mechanism (addition of radical Z^. to the double bond, intramolecular homolytic displacement) is involved in the induced decomposition of 1.The order of magnitude of the rate constants of these S_Hi reactions could be estimated.
