Description

Tert-Butyl cumyl peroxide is a reactive organic compound that has been shown to have a predictive model for its crystalline structure. It is an organic peroxide and is used as a polymerization initiator in the preparation of polycarbonate and polyurethane resins. It also finds use as a reagent in organic synthesis, especially for the preparation of phenols. Tert-butyl cumyl peroxide can be obtained by the reaction of tert-butyl alcohol with ethylene oxide followed by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide. This process produces tert-butyl hydroxyethyl ether, which is then oxidized to produce tert-butyl cumyl peroxide. The functional groups on this molecule are tertiary butoxy and hydroxy groups, which provide it with its reactivity. Tert-butyl cumyl peroxide has a crystalline structure that can be predicted using predictive models. The morphology of this compound is determined by its crystalline structure and functional
