Abstract
Decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide into free radicals in aqueous and organic media in the presence of cationic surfactants at 37°C is studied by the method of inhibitors using quercetin as an acceptor of radicals. It is found that cationic surfactants catalyze the decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide into radicals, the catalytic effect in an organic medium being higher than that in an aqueous solution. Catalytic action of surfactants greatly depends on the counterion nature. Cetyltrimethylammonium chloride has the highest catalytic activity. Characteristics of surface activity of some cationic surfactants and hydroperoxides are obtained.
