tert-butyl hydroperoxide usage and synthesis |
chemical properties | colourless liquid (as an aqueous solution) with a sweet smell |
general description | watery odorless colorless liquid. floats and mixes slowly with water. |
air & water reactions | water soluble. |
reactivity profile | most alkyl monohydroperoxides are liquid. the explosivity of the lower members (e.g., methyl hydroperoxide, or possibly, traces of the dialkyl peroxides) decreasing with increasing chain length and branching [bretherick 2nd ed. 1979 p. 10]. though relatively stable, explosions have been caused by distillation to dryness [milas, jacs 1946, 68, 205] or attempted distillation at atmospheric pressure [castrantas 1965 p. 15]. |
