Abstract

A series of tert-butyl 1-arylcycloalkyl peresters was prepared, and the rate constants for the peresters' thermal decomposition were measured at several temperatures. The decomposition rates and aryl-substituent effects on the decomposition rates for the three series of peresters are remarkably similar to each other and to the acyclic α, α- dimethylbenzyl analogue previously investigated. The magnitude of the activation ...
