The synthesis of a hitherto unknown class of organic peroxides, acetylene peroxides, is herein reported. Three types of this class of organic peroxides have been synthesized:(1) acetylene hydroperoxides comparable to acetylenecarbinols;(2) acetylene dihydroperoxides comparable to acetylene glycols; and (3) alkynyl peroxides Comparable to alkynyl ethers. These peroxides are unusually stable and, in this respect, are comparable to saturated ...
