The thermal decomposition of cyanodiphenylmethyl t-butyl peroxide was investigated. The peroxide is abnormally stable and decomposes slowly at 130–135 °C, and the main reaction product is tetraphenylsuccinonitrile. A main reaction path including the C–O bond scission, in contrast to the case of triphenylmethyl t-butyl peroxide, is proposed.
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.
