Rate constants for the title reactions have been determined from the ratios of oxirane to peroxide obtained in the reductons of β-bromoalkyl t-butyl peroxides with tributyltin hydride.At ca. 298 K the rate constants are 0.32, 1.12, 1.96, 2.0 and 6.2E6 s-1 for β-t-butylperoxy derivatives of trinorbornan-2-yl (exo) cyclohexyl, 1-methylpropyl , cyclopentyl and 1-ethylbutyl, respectively.The results are discussed in terms of steric and electronic effects in the transition state leading to ring closure of the radicals.
