Acyclic organic peroxides

The structural chemistry of acyclic organic peroxides distal (D) distal (D)... 

The major groups of acyclic organic peroxides may be obtained by successively substituting H atoms in H2O2 with alkyl, aryl, acyl, alkoxycarbonyl or heteroatom substituents (Figure 3). A formal O insertion into the 0—0 bond provides polyoxides, i.e. compounds with at least three O atoms in a row. Substituents R have the potential to modify the... 

More than 200 structures from X-ray diffraction studies of acyclic organic peroxides have been disclosed in the literature since 1983. Structural information prior to 1983 was reviewed in an earlier book chapter and therefore has been omitted from this synopsis. Emphasis has been laid on a documentation of the most important structural information. The survey, however, remained incomplete since a considerable number of structures had been disclosed in the literature and/or the CSD database without providing the associated atomic coordinates. Further, structures with unusually short or long 0—0 connectivities have been omitted from the statistics for the reasons outlined in Section II.
