Abstract
The products of the decomposition of benzoyl peroxide in carbon tetrachloride in the presence of nitrogen dioxide have been investigated quantitatively, and the mechanism previously suggested has been confirmed. The reaction of benzoyl peroxide with nitrogen dioxide in the absence of solvent has been found to be similar, but less complex. The formation of benzoyl nitrate was indicated by the isolation of a nitration product from reactions in the presence of p-xylene. The decomposition of a series of aroyl peroxides in the presence of nitrogen dioxide gave the corresponding nitro-compounds.
