Abstract
Abstract When MgBr2 prepared in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran was added to a mixture of olefin and benzoyl peroxide, the peroxide decomposed at a moderate rate at room temperature. Olefin dibromide and magnesium benzoate were obtained in nearly quantitative yields. The effects of p- and m-substituents of peroxide and of the structure of olefin were studied. A complex consisting of MgBr2 and peroxide was formed. Abstraction of brominium cation from the complex by the olefinic double bond was proposed.
