DECOMPOSITION OF THREE-, FOUR-, AND FIVE-MEMBERED OXYGEN HETEROCYCLES BY TERT-BUTYL HYDROPEROXIDE
At the moment, organic peroxides play an important role in solving many theoretical and applied problems of chemistry, biology and medicine. These compounds are widely used as oxidants and radical initiators of free radical reactions, which are widely used in the manufacture of polymers from unsaturated monomers, both in industry and in the laboratory. Peroxides are also used as oxidants, disinfectants, bleachers, etc., and also are intermediates in the production of various classes of functional organic compounds.
