Summary
-
1.
The inhibitor method has been used to make a study of the decay into free radicals of α-ketocyclohexyl-hydroperoxide, formed in the oxidation of cyclohexanone. In cyclohexanone, the peroxide decays monomolecularly with a rate constant equal to 3·107 e−20400/RT sec−1.

2.
In cyclohexanone, the α-ketocyclohexylhydroperoxide joins reversibly to the ketone to form a peroxide which rapidly decays into free radicals.
