TERT-BUTYL PEROXYBENZOATE

tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate = TBPB

Chemical Name: tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate
CAS Number: 614-45-9
Molecular Fomula: C11H14O3
Molecular Weight: 194.23

tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB) a chemical compound from the group of peresters (compounds containing the general structure R1-C(O)OO-R2) which contains a phenyl group as R1 and a tert-butyl group as R2. 
tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate is often used as a radical initiator in polymerization reactions, such as the production of LDPE from ethylene, and for crosslinking, such as for unsaturated polyester resins.

Properties of tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate:
TBPB is a clear light yellow liquid, which is little soluble in water but well in many organic solvents such as ethanol or phthalate.
As peroxo compound, TBPB contains about 8.16 wt% of active oxygen and has a self accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT) of about 60 °C. 
The SADT is the lowest temperature at which self-accelerating decomposition in the transport packaging can occur within a week, and which should not be exceeded while storage or transportation.
TBPB should therefore be stored between minimum 10 °C (below solidification) and maximum 50 °C. 

Dilution with a high-boiling solvent increases the SADT. 
The half-life of TBPB, in which 50% of the peroxy ester is decomposed, is 10 hours at 104 °C, one hour at 124 °C and one minute at 165 °C. 
Amines, metal ions, strong acids and bases, as well as strong reducing and oxidizing agents accelerate the decomposition of TBPB even in low concentrations.
However, TBPB is one of the safest peresters or organic peroxides in handling.
The main decomposition products of tert-butyl peroxybenzoate are carbon dioxide, acetone, methane, tert-butanol, benzoic acid and benzene.

Applications of tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate:
Applications in polymer chemistry:
Primarily, TBPB is used as a radical initiator, either in the polymerization of e.g. ethylene (to LDPE), vinyl chloride, styrene or acrylic esters or as so-called unsaturated polyester resins (UP resins).
The quantity used for the curing of UP resins is about 1-2%. 
A disadvantage, particularly in the production of polymers for applications in the food or cosmetics sector, is the possible formation of benzene as a decomposition product which can diffuse out of the polymer (for example, an LDPE packaging film).
TBPB can be used to introduce a benzoyloxy group in the allyl position of unsaturated hydrocarbons.

From cyclohexene, 3-benzoyloxycyclohexene is formed with TBPB in the presence of catalytic amounts of copper(I)bromide in 71 to 80% yield.
This allylic oxidation of alkenes, also known as Kharasch-Sosnovsky oxidation, generates racemic allylic benzoates in the presence of catalytic amounts of copper(I)bromide.

Applications in organic chemistry
The protecting group 2-trimethylsilylethanesulfonyl chloride (SES-Cl) for primary and secondary amino groups is accessible by the reaction of vinyltrimethylsilane with sodium hydrogensulfite and TBPB to the sodium salt of trimethylsilylethanesulfonic acid and the subsequent reaction with thionyl chloride to the corresponding sulfonyl chloride.
A modification of the reaction utilizes copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate as a catalyst and DBN or DBU as bases to achieve yields up to 80% in the reaction of acyclic olefins with TBPB to allylic benzoates. 
Substituted oxazolines and thiazolines can be oxidized to the corresponding oxazoles and thiazoles in a modified Kharash-Sosnovsky oxidation with TBPB and a mixture of Cu(I) and Cu(II) salts in suitable yields

Use and applications of tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate:
Tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate is primarily used as a radical initiator to induce polymerisation (free radical polymerisation process), for the manufacture of e.g. PVC, and as a curing agent for the production of unsaturated polyester resins.

Physical / Chemical properties of tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate:
Organic peroxides are thermally unstable substances or mixtures, which can undergo exothermic self-accelerating decomposition. 

Production of tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate:
A standard procedure for the preparation of peresters is the acylation of tert-butyl hydroperoxide with benzoyl chloride.
In the reaction a large excess of tert-butyl hydroperoxide is used and the hydrogen chloride formed is removed in vacuo whereby a virtually quantitative yield is obtained.

tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate Usages:
Uses This product can be used for curing curing of unsaturated polyester resin curing agent, and high pressure polyethylene, polystyrene, diallyl phthalate (DAP) and other resin polymerization catalyst. 

General description of tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate:
tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB)-mediated 2-isocyanobiaryl insertion with 1,4-dioxane has been reported.

Tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB) is thermally unstable organic peroxide, which may cause disasters such as fire or explosion when excessive heat released due to thermal decomposition. 
Ionic liquid is often used as a catalyst and inhibitor in engineering applications recently. 
This study investigated the thermal decomposition characteristics of TBPB when added two different ionic liquids which are 1-Propyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide ([PMIM][I]) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF4]) respectively with different mass ratio under DSC tests. 
Characteristic parameters such as the onset exothermic temperature (T0) and heat of decomposition (ΔHd) of samples were compared. 

Kinetic parameters such as activation energy Ea were computed using two isoconversional methods which were Ozawa method and Friedman method respectively. 
The model based (zeroth order reaction) estimation method was used to estimate TMRad at T0 from non-isothermal DSC measurements to assess the thermal hazard of five samples. 
The paper aims to study the effect of ionic liquids (ILs) on the thermal decomposition of TBPB and analysis the influence of two ionic liquids on the decomposition mechanism of TBPB.

A bismuth-catalyzed methylation of quinones in the presence of tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB) was developed via a radical reaction mechanism. 
Particularly, TBPB was used not only as an efficient oxidant, but also as a green methyl source in such transformation. 
Moreover, this method could also be efficiently extended to the alkylation of quinones. 
This reaction tolerated a series of functional groups and prepared a series of derivatives of vitamin K3 and benzoquinone. 
Notably, antimalarial parvaquone was synthesized by the reaction.

3. Polymerization of ethylene:
TBPB is an efficient initirtor for the ethylene polymerization under high pressure in both autoclave and tubular processes.
To obtain a wide spectrum of polymerization temperatures, combinations with other peroxides are applied in practice.
Depending on reaction conditions.

6. Peroxides for Thermoset Resins:
TBPB, tert-butyl peroxybenzoate, is an aromatic perester, which is used for the curing of unsaturated polyester resins at elevated temperatures.
TBPB is preferred for the curing of UP resin based Hot Press Moulding formulations (SMC, BMC, ZMC etc) in the temperature range of 120 – 170℃.

A tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB)-promoted direct α-methylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds has been developed, providing α-methyl derivatives in moderate to good yields. 
In this procedure, TBPB plays a dual role, serving as both the methyl source and radical initiator. 
This work represents a key complement to the traditional α-methylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds using methyl iodide.
