General Description

m-Toluoyl and benzoyl peroxide is particularly sensitive to temperature rises. Decomposes violently above a certain control temperature.

Reactivity Profile

The explosive instability of the lower dialkyl peroxides (e.g., dimethyl peroxide) and 1,1-bis-peroxides decreases rapidly with increasing chain length and degree of branching, the di-tert-alkyl derivatives being amongst the most stable class of peroxides. Though many 1,1-bis-peroxides have been reported, few have been purified because of the higher explosion hazards compared with the monofunctional peroxides. m-Toluoyl and benzoyl peroxide is unlikely that this derivative would be particularly unstable compared to other peroxides in it's class, Bretherick 2nd ed., p 44 1979.

Aryl acyl peroxides for visible-light induced decarboxylative arylation of quinoxalin-2(1: H)-ones under additive-, metal catalyst-, and external photosensitizer-free and ambient conditions

Aryl radicals were generated for the first time from cheap and easily available aryl acyl peroxides in eco-friendly ethyl acetate under ambient conditions and visible-light illumination in the absence of any additive, metal catalyst, or external photosensitizer. The present arylation of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones was chemo- and regioselective, and provided good access to various 3-arylquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones. This journal is

Uncatalyzed, on water oxygenative cleavage of inert C-N bond with concomitant 8,7-amino shift in 8-aminoquinoline derivatives

Oxygenative cleavage of an inert CAr-NH2 bond with concomitant 1,2 amine migration in 8-aminoquinoline derivatives is reported in water at room temperature. The reaction is highly atom- and step-economical as both C- and N-containing fragments of the C-N bond cleavage are incorporated into the target molecule and is effected without the need for N-oxide. The reaction is scalable to gram level, and the products are useful as electrophilic partners for coupling reactions, ligands in catalysis and bioactive compounds.

Convenient peripheral aroyloxylation reactions of porphyrins and chlorophyll-a-based chlorins with benzoyl peroxide

A practical and efficient methodology for the formation of C-O bonds on the porphyrin/chlorin periphery was developed. The aroyloxy-substituted porphyrins and chlorins related to chlorophyll-a at the β- and meso-positions, respectively, were conveniently synthesized by the free radical substitution reaction with benzoyl peroxide and its homologs.
