A novel peroxyester, 1,1,2,2-tetramethylpropyl peroxypivalate 1b, has been synthesized and thermolyzed in cumene. The kinetic data show that the decomposition rate constant of 1b is about three times higher than that of tert-butyl peroxypivalate. The radical trapping technique employing 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-2-yloxyl has been used to study the decomposition mechanism of 1b. The results show that the thermolysis of 1b in cumene generates tert-butyl radicals exclusively.

The thermal decomposition of a novel peroxyester, 1-cyclohexyl-1-methylethyl peroxypivalate 1a in cumene has been studied using the radical trapping technique employing 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-2-yloxyl T, a stable aminoxyl radical, as

The reactions of tert-alkyl peroxypivalates 1 (R = methyl, ethyl, and n- propyl) with styrene in the presence of the free-radical scavenger (1,1,3,3- tetramethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-2-yl)oxyl (2) have been studied at 60 °C. tert-Butyl and tert-alkoxyl radicals (tert-butoxyl, tert-pentyloxyl, and tert-hexyloxyl radicals) were generated from the thermolysis of 1, and the derivative alkyl radicals (methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, and 4-hydroxy-4- methylpentyl radicals) were formed by subsequent unimolecular reactions (β- scission and 1,5-H shift) of the corresponding tert-alkoxyl radicals. The extent of the unimolecular reactions of the tert-alkoxyl radicals (versus addition to styrene) and the relative reactivity of alkyl radicals toward addition to styrene were obtained from the competitive addition/trapping reactions. The absolute rate constants for the addition of tert-butyl, ethyl, methyl, and n-propyl radicals to styrene at 60 °C were estimated to be (7.4, 4.7, 5, and 5.4) x 105 M-1 s-1, respectively.
