Abstract

The kinetics of liquid-phase oxidation of 1-methoxy-2-(1-methylethyl) benzene (1a), 1-methoxy-3-(1-methylethyl)benzene (1b), and 1-methoxy-4-(1- methylethyl)benzene (1c) with oxygen as oxidant to yield the corresponding 1-methyl- 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)ethyl (2a). 1methyl-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl (2b), and 1-methyl-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl (2c) hydroperoxides was studied. The oxidizabilities of 1a, 1b, and le were established over the temperature range 50-120°C. The overall activation energies of oxidation were determined for 1b and 1c over the temperature range 50-120°C. Thermal stability of 2a and 2b and the initiating properties of hydroperoxides 2a, 2b. and 2c were studied. Long-term noncatalytic oxidations of 1b and 1c to respective hydroperoxides were carried out.
