p-Chlorobenzoyl peroxide

Description:
p-Chlorobenzoyl peroxide, with the CAS number 94-17-7, is an organic peroxide that serves as a radical initiator in various chemical reactions, particularly in polymerization processes. It is characterized by its white crystalline solid form and is known for its strong oxidizing properties. The compound features a benzoyl peroxide structure, where a chlorine atom is substituted at the para position of the benzoyl group. This substitution influences its reactivity and stability. p-Chlorobenzoyl peroxide is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It decomposes upon heating or exposure to light, releasing oxygen and generating free radicals, which makes it useful in initiating polymerization reactions. However, due to its reactive nature, it must be handled with care, as it can pose risks of combustion and skin irritation. In industrial applications, it is often utilized in the production of plastics, resins, and other polymeric materials, highlighting its significance in the field of materials science.
