MATERIALS LIABLE TO FORM PEROXIDES IN STORAGE
10.1
A number of both organic and inorganic compounds are susceptible for
the formation of peroxide compounds by reaction with atmospheric
oxygen. Such compounds include:
Aldehydes
Ethers, especially cyclic ethers and those containing primary and
secondary alcohol groups
Compounds containing benzylic hydrogen atoms (particularly if the
hydrogens are on tertiary carbon atoms)
Compounds containing the allylic structure, including most alkenes.
Vinyl and vinylidene compounds.
10.2
Among the more widely-used compounds which may form peroxides in
storage are:
acetal
cumene
cyclohexene
cyclooctene
decahydronaphthalene
decalin
diacetylene
dicyclopentadiene
diethyl ether
diethylene glycol
diisopropyl ether
dimethyl ether
dioxane
divinyl acetylene
ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (glyme)
isopropyl ether
methyl acetylene
sodium amide
tetrahydrofuran (THF)
tetrahydronaphthalene
tetralin
vinyl acetate
vinylidene chloride
10.3
Peroxide compounds are very reactive and often highly unstable.
