Abstract
9-R-Anthracenes (R = Me, Ph) are effective acceptors of peroxyl and metalalkoxyl radicals in the systems tert-butylhydroperoxide-metal tert-butoxide (M = Al, V, Cr; C6H6, 20°C). Isolation of 9-R-9,10-dihydro-9,10-di-tert-butylperoxyanthracenes, 10-R-10-tert-butylperoxy-9-anthrones as major products reliably confirms the formation of tert-butylperoxy radicals and can be used for quantitative assessment of their content.
