Abstract
The pyrolysis of 1‐n‐butoxy‐1‐(tert‐butylperoxy) ethane in triisopropylbenzene leads to the formation of methane, tert‐butyl alcohol, n‐butyl formate and n‐butyl acetate as previously described. To verify the hypotheses on the origin of the esters a kinetic analysis of this reaction has been performed by differential scanning microcalorimetry. If the unimolecular homolysis of the peroxide function can account for the formate ester, the formation of the acetate ester cannot be explained only by the induced decomposition of the peroxide by tert‐butoxy radicals. The alternative origin of the acetate ester is the disproportionation of the initial radicals in the solvent cage.
