Abstract

Dodecyl, tetradecyl, hexadecyl, and octadecyl hydroperoxides have been prepared for testing as int, ermediates in the biological oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons. The hydroperoxides were prepared in a state of purity varying from 92-100 per cent by the alkylation of hydrogen peroxide in basic medium with the corresponding alkyl methanesulfonate.
