Abstract

The kinetics and mechanism of the thermal decomposition reactions of three substituted tetraoxanes (benzophenone diperoxide, cyclohexanone diperoxide, and pinacolone diperoxide in benzene solution were investigated in the temperature range 108-165" C. The activation parameters for unimolecular reactions of molecules of this type are interpreted in terms of substituent effects in the tetraoxacyclohexane ring. Isokinetic relationships are ...
