Formation of Organic Peroxides
Organic peroxides are a class of compounds that have unusual
stability problems that make them among the most hazardous
substances found in the laboratory. As a class, organic peroxides
are considered to be powerful explosives and are sensitive to heat,
friction, impact, and light, as well as to strong oxidizing and
reducing agents. Common compounds that form peroxides during
storage include:
o
ethyl ether.
o
isopropyl ether.
o
potassium metal.
o
vinyl chloride.
o
cyclohexene.
o
dicyclopentadiene.
o
vinyl acetylene.
o
dioxane.
o
