Abstract

Abstract: The thermolysis of 1-phenylethyl peroxyacetate and a series of substituted 1- phenylethyl peroxybenzoates was investigated. Thermolysis in benzene gives acetophenone and the corresponding carboxylic acid. The study of the reaction kinetics and kinetic isotope effect indicates that the unimolecular thermolysis proceeds by homolysis of the oxygen-oxygen bond. Electronically excited states are formed in the thermolyses of ...
