  2. Butanone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butanone

    In the peroxide process on producing hydrazine, the starting chemical ammonia is bonded to butanone, oxidized by hydrogen peroxide, bonded to another ammonia molecule. In the final step of the process, hydrolysis produces the desired product, hydrazine, and regenerates the butanone. Me(Et)C=NN=C(Et)Me + 2 H 2 O → 2 Me(Et)C=O + N 2 H 4

  3. Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_ethyl_ketone_peroxide

    Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) is an organic peroxide with the formula [(CH 3)(C 2 H 5)C(O 2 H)] 2 O 2. MEKP is a colorless oily liquid. It is widely used in vulcanization (crosslinking) of polymers. [3] It is derived from the reaction of methyl ethyl ketone and hydrogen peroxide under acidic conditions.

  4. Baeyer–Villiger oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baeyer–Villiger_oxidation

    The Baeyer–Villiger oxidation is an organic reaction that forms an ester from a ketone or a lactone from a cyclic ketone, using peroxyacids or peroxides as the oxidant. [1] The reaction is named after Adolf von Baeyer and Victor Villiger who first reported the reaction in 1899.

  5. Peroxide process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxide_process

    The peroxide process is a method for the industrial production of hydrazine. In this process hydrogen peroxide is used as an oxidant instead of sodium hypochlorite, which is traditionally used to generate hydrazine. The main advantage of the peroxide process to hydrazine relative to the traditional Olin Raschig process is that it does not ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norrish_reaction

    The size and nature of these fragments depends upon the stability of the generated radicals; for instance, the cleavage of 2-butanone largely yields ethyl radicals in favor of less stable methyl radicals. [4] Norrish type I reaction. Several secondary reaction modes are open to these fragments depending on the exact molecular structure.

  7. Organic peroxides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_peroxides

    Anthrahydroquinone reacts spontaneously with oxygen to form anthraquinone and hydrogen peroxide, possibly through some organic peroxide intermediate. After extraktion of the hydrogen peroxide the anthraquinone is catalytically reduced to anthrahydroquinone and reused in the process. There are other hydroquinones reacting in a similar fashion.

  8. tert-Butyl hydroperoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tert-Butyl_hydroperoxide

    It is one of the most widely used hydroperoxides in a variety of oxidation processes, like the Halcon process. [3] It is normally supplied as a 69–70% aqueous solution. Compared to hydrogen peroxide and organic peracids, tert-butyl hydroperoxide is less reactive and more soluble in organic solvents. Overall, it is renowned for the convenient ...

  9. Isoamyl alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoamyl_alcohol

    Isoamyl alcohol is a colorless liquid with the formula C 5 H 12 O, specifically (H 3 C–) 2 CH–CH 2 –CH 2 –OH. It is one of several isomers of amyl alcohol (pentanol). It is also known as isopentyl alcohol, isopentanol, or (in the IUPAC recommended nomenclature) 3-methyl-butan-1-ol.
