Abstract
The effect of the phenyl acetate reaction medium on the kinetics and the pr oduct composition for the decomposition of di-tert-butyl peroxide in an ine rt atmosphere at 180 degrees C was studied. Among the reaction products, ac etone, tert-butanol, ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted methyl phenylaceta tes, phenol, tert-butyl acetate, and tert-butoxyphenylacetate were identifi ed. The thermochemistry of addition of the methyl and tert-butoxy radicals to the phenyl acetate and acetone molecules was considered.
