Abstract
AbstractPeresters can decompose thermally by several modes. There can be simple scission of the OO bond or a simultaneous scission of both the OO and the CC bond to split out carbon dioxide. The decompositions of tert‐butyl peracetate, tert‐butyl per(phenyl acetate) and tert‐butyl per(diphenyl acetate), have been studied and it has been shown that whereas tert‐butyl peracetate decomposes primarily into alkoxy and acyloxy radicals, the other two dissociate into the products with simultaneous splitting of carbon dioxide in a single stage reaction. This suggests that peresters with groups that would form relatively stable radicals undergo a synchronous scission of the two bonds to split out a molecule of CO2.
