Conclusions
-
1.
Under the action of chromium stearate, free radicals of tert-butyl hydroperoxide are formed through a bimolecular reaction in chlorobenzene solution.
-
2.
Although the overall breakdown of the hydroperoxide can be described by a second-order equation, the reaction is a complex radical-initiated chain process.
