Hydroxyalkyl Alkyl Peroxides and Hydroxyalkyl Peroxyesters. Hydroxyalkyl alkyl peroxides (1. X = OH, R — alkyl) are reasonably stable and usually can be distilled under a vacuum the boiling points and structures of representative compounds are listed in Table 6. 

Other details in the structure also exert an influence on the boiling point a complete explanation of the relation between boiling point and structure is however not yet possible.
