The thermal decomposition mechanism of 4,4-dimethylpentanoyl m-chlorobenzoyl peroxide and its α- and β-dideuteriated analogues is described.Product analyses and CIDNP studies suggest that all three pathways, electron transfer, radical and ionic, are operative in decomposition of these peroxides.Two pulsed-NMR techniques have been employed to eliminate distortions of CIDNP intensities arising from spin-lattice relaxation.These quantitative CIDNP studies have revealed an additional pure ionic pathway which competes with the radical pair electron transfer pathway to form rearranged reaction products.
