Hexaneperoxoic acid,2-ethyl-, 1,1-dimethylpropyl ester (686-31-7)

The IUPAC name of tert-Amyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate is 2-methylbutan-2-yl 2-ethylhexaneperoxoate . With CAS registry number 686-31-7, it is also named as t-Amylperoxy 2-ethylhexanoate ; Hexaneperoxoic acid, 2-ethyl-, 1,1-dimethylpropyl ester ; tert-Amyl per-2-ethyl hexanoate ; tert-Amyl peroxy-2-ethyl hexanoate(technically pure) ; tert-Pentyl 2-ethylperoxyhexanoate ; 2-Ethylhexaneperoxoic acid 1,1-dimethylpropyl ester ; Amyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate .

The tert-Amyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate is colorless to pale yellow liquid. It is insoluble in water and soluble in common organic solvents. It may explode if exposed to heat, shock, or friction. Material must be stored and transported in temperature controlled container.  The product must be stored at 50°F (10°C) or below. tert-Amyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate explodes with great violence when rapidly heated to a critical temperature. The pure form is shock sensitive and detonable. It is useful as an initiator in the polymerization of vinyl monomers.
