Process for the production of 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di-t-butylperoxy- hexane

摘要

2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di-t-butylperoxy-hexane is produced by reacting 2, 5- dimethyl-1,5-hexadiene with t-butylhydroperoxide under acid catalysis in the presence of an electron pair acceptor Lewis acid in a substantially anhydrous solvent. If one uses technical water-containing t- butylhydroperoxide, the water can be separated, after mixing with the 2,5- dimethyl-1,5-hexadiene, by adding sulfuric acid or calcium chloride and subsequently the electron pair acceptor Lewis acid is added.
