The reaction of cyclohexanone with hydrogen peroxide to yield both the dimeric and trimeric cyclic peroxides has been investigated. It has been found that tricyclohexylidene peroxide is the kinetic product under most conditions and that dicyclohexylidene peroxide is easily formed from it. Improved syntheses of the peroxides, particularly for the trimer, have resulted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
