The selective decomposition of the O-O-groups in the azoperoxides 1 and 2 is possible by reaction with dimethylaniline at 35 deg C.Rate constants were measured and the decomposition products were analyzed.Intermediates are azoalkyl radicals.The radical yield of the amine induced decomposition of 2 in ethylbenzene is 8.2percent at 35 deg C.UV irradiation of the azoperoxides 1 and 2 at 20 deg C in ethylbenzene results in a quantitative and selective decomposition of the azo groups.Intermediates are C-radicals with intact peroxide groups.The reaction of 1 and 2 with triethylstannane yields reduction products of the O-O-groups and the N=N-groups, respectively.
