| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
m-Toluoyl and benzoyl peroxide is particularly sensitive to temperature rises. Decomposes violently above a certain control temperature. | [Reactivity Profile]
The explosive instability of the lower dialkyl peroxides (e.g., dimethyl peroxide) and 1,1-bis-peroxides decreases rapidly with increasing chain length and degree of branching, the di-tert-alkyl derivatives being amongst the most stable class of peroxides. Though many 1,1-bis-peroxides have been reported, few have been purified because of the higher explosion hazards compared with the monofunctional peroxides. m-Toluoyl and benzoyl peroxide is unlikely that this derivative would be particularly unstable compared to other peroxides in it's class, Bretherick 2nd ed., p 44 1979. |
