Abstract

The di-tert-butyl peroxide-initiated (by thermal decomposition) liquid-phase transformations of 2-alkoxytetrahydropyrans to the corresponding esters of n-valeric acid and δ-valerolactone were studied by kinetic methods. Their ratio is determined by the structure of the alkoxy group. The reaction proceeds via a mechanism involving an unbranched chain reaction with quadratic breaking of the chains in the rearranged radicals.
