In chloroform in the presence of tert-butyl peroxide di-tert-alkoxymethanes from the corresponding tert-alkyl formates, tert-alkyl chlorides, and alkanes; here the chloroform is converted into methylene chloride and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane.The relationships between the accumulation rate of the reaction products and the concentration of acetal, chloroform, and initiator were determined.An unbranched radical-chain mechanism was established for the fragmentation of the acetals with quadratic termination at the tert-alkyl and dichloromethyl radicals.
