Trapping free radicals formed in the reaction of ozone with simple olefins using 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-cresol (BHT)

  • 1. Louisiana State Univ., Baton Rouge

Description

Free radicals are detected from the ozonation of a series of olefins using a BHT trapping technique. We have determined the structure of the adduct when 3,3-dimethylbutene (tert-butylethylene) is ozonated at -780C and then warmed in the presence of BHT. The adduct can be rationalized as arising from trapping tert-butylperoxyl radicals by BHT to give 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-(tert-butylperoxy)-4-methyl-2,5-cyclohexadienone. 17 references, 4 figures, 4 tables
