The reaction between 2, 3-dimethylbutane and di-tert-butyl peroxide might lead in principle to 21 saturated and unsaturated products. Capillary GLC reveals six major compounds which have been isolated by fractional preparative GLC; and whose structure has been far the first time unambiguously determined by spectroscopy ('H NMR, l3C NMR, mass), independent synthesis, hydrogenation of reaction mixtures, and chromatographic ...
