The kinetics of the decomposition of acetylcyclohexylsulfonyl peroxide (ACSP) in CCI 4, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, cumene, acetonitrile, ethanol, and 2-propanol in an atmosphere of O 2 were studied at 40--70 *C. The rate constants (/co) and activation parameters of the monomolecular decomposition of ACSP were determined. A linear dependence between log ,,t o and activation energy Eo (compensation effect) was established. The dependence of k o on the nature of a solvent is described by the four-parameter Koppel--Palm equation.
