The initial stages of cyclooctene oxidation by molecular oxygen in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide
The initial stages of liquid-phase oxidation of cyclooctene by molecular oxygen in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide were investigated. It was shown that radical formation is the result of bimolecular decomposition of hydroperoxide. The influence of azodiizobutyronitrile on this process was studied. The kinetic parameters of the process were calculated.
