Diethyl ketone triperoxide is obtained in a simple and efficient one-step procedure using the acid-catalysed oxidation reaction of diethyl ketone by hydrogen peroxide. Its thermolysis in toluene solution is initiated by a rate determining peroxidic bond rupture of that substituted triperoxane molecule.
