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 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl (tert-octyl) peroxypivalate (1) with methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene in the presence of the free radical scavenger 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-2-yloxyl (2) have been studied at 60°C. tert-Butyl and tert-octyloxyl radicals (3) were generated from the thermolysis of 1. The predominant unimolecular reactions of 3, that is, β-scission to form neopentyl radicals (14b) and a 1,5-H shift to form 4-hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylpentyl radicals (14c), were observed in both monomer systems. The resulting alkyl radicals underwent selective addition to the two monomers. The relative reactivities of the alkyl radicals toward addition to the monomers were obtained from competitive addition/trapping reactions. The absolute rate constants for the addition of alkyl radicals 14b and 14e to the two monomers at 60°C were estimated to be 9.5 x 105 and 2.6 x 105 M-1 s-1 to MMA and 4.5 x 105 and 0.7 x 105 M-1 s-1 to styrene, respectively. The low reactivities of 3 and 14e toward addition to MMA and styrene were attributed to steric effects. Steric effects were also responsible for the low rate of the 1,5-H shift in 3.
