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
Acetal.
o
Butadiene.
o
Vinyl ethers.
o
Styrene.
o
Diacetylene.
o
Vinyl acetate.
o
Tetrahydrofuran.
o
