Organic Peroxides

Abstract

The reaction of acetone with hydrogen peroxide gives various types of organic peroxides of acetone, in a reaction involving several stages. The simple linear hydroperoxides and hydroxyperoxides form at first and then condense to the linear dimer and trimer analogs. The linear dihydroperoxide 2,2-dihydroperoxypropane (I) and its dimer bis(2-hydroperoxypropane)peroxide (II) form as a main product in an acetone and hydrogen peroxide mixture, in the absence of an acidic catalyst [1].
