The compositions and yields of the products of the transformation of tert-butyl hydroperoxide under the influence of chlorides in ethyl acetate are shown and the differential kinetics of the decomposition of the hydroperoxide and the accumulation of its main transformation products are presented. The kinetic and activation parameters of the process of decomposition of tert-butyl hydroperoxide are shown. The initiation of the polymerization of methy methacrylate by the system MCl/sub n-t/-BuOOH went with the participation of the complex MCl/sub n-t/-BuOOH; the transformation of the complex in a medium of the monomer takes simultaneous heterolytic and free-radical course.
