Abstract

The peroxymonosulfate-acetone system produces dimethyldioxirane under conditions permitting distillation of the dioxirane from the synthesis vessel. The same conditions were used to prepare other methyldioxiranes. Solutions of dimethyldioxirane prepared in this manner were used to study ita chemical and spectroscopic properties. The caroate-acetone system was also used to study the chemistry of in situ generated dimethyldioxirane.
