1,1′-[Dioxybis(1-methylpropylidene)]bis[hydroperoxide]

Description:

1,1′-[Dioxybis(1-methylpropylidene)]bis[hydroperoxide], commonly known as di-tert-butyl peroxide, is an organic peroxide characterized by its structure that includes two tert-butyl groups connected by a peroxide linkage. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is known for its strong oxidizing properties, making it useful as a radical initiator in polymerization reactions and as a bleaching agent in various industrial applications. The compound is relatively unstable and can decompose exothermically, which necessitates careful handling and storage under controlled conditions to prevent accidental ignition or explosion. It is also sensitive to heat, shock, and friction. In terms of solubility, it is generally soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. Due to its reactive nature, safety precautions are essential when working with this substance, including the use of personal protective equipment and adherence to proper storage guidelines to mitigate risks associated with its use.
