Abstract
Simple dialkyl ethers (i.e, diethyl or dihexyl ether), in addition to undergo oxidative cleavage by reaction with methyl(trifluoromethyl)dio xirane or dimethyldioxirane, induce the decomposition of these oxidati on reagents in a concentration dependent manner. The identification of compounds derived from reactions with species such as CH3. or CF(3)C0 (2.) suggests that the above decomposition is a radical chain process.
