Kinetics of interaction of hydroperoxides with some disulphides

Journal Article · · Pet. Chem. USSR (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

Disulphides catalytically break down tert-butyl and cumyl hydroperoxides. In chlorobenzene breakdown takes place by a bimolecular mechanism at a rate which is directly proportional to the concentration of hydroperoxide and disulphide; the rate constant of this reaction varies from 0.4 to 1.2 1./mole.sec at 373/sup 0/K for disulphides and tert-butyl hydroperoxide, respectively. No radicals are formed by the reaction of tert-butyl hydroperoxide with disulphide. 3 references, 2 figures, 2 tables.
