Di-Tert-Butyl Peroxide (DTBP), with the chemical formula (CH3)3COOC(CH3)3, is a powerful organic peroxide widely used as a radical initiator in the polymerization process and as a catalyst in various chemical reactions. This colorless liquid or crystalline solid is known for its ability to decompose into free radicals at elevated temperatures, making it an essential component in the manufacturing of plastics, rubber, and other polymer-based materials. HighMountainChem specializes in providing high-purity Di-Tert-Butyl Peroxide, meeting the diverse needs of industries looking for efficient and reliable chemical initiators.
Di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) is a colorless to slightly yellow liquid with a molecular formula of C8H18O2. It has a boiling point of 150°C, a low flash point of 40°C, and is slightly soluble in water but readily dissolves in organic solvents. DTBP is highly reactive due to its peroxide group, decomposing to form free radicals, particularly tert-butyl radicals, which are used to initiate polymerization reactions. It is relatively stable at room temperature but must be stored carefully as it is sensitive to heat, light, and shock. DTBP is commonly used in polymer production and other free-radical-driven chemical processes.
The process involves preparing a mixture of 30-98% sulfuric acid, 30-35% hydrogen peroxide, and phospho-wolfram acid, which is held at 5-15°C. Trimethyl carbinol is then added to this mixture, and the reaction is carried out at 20-60°C for 0.5-5 hours to obtain a coarse product. The coarse product is separated to isolate the oil phase, which is then subjected to vacuum distillation under 2.5-10 kPa and 20-50°C to yield tert-butyl peroxide and di-tert-butyl peroxide.

Di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) is widely used in polymer chemistry as a radical initiator for the polymerization of monomers like styrene, polyethylene, and acrylics. It also facilitates the crosslinking of polymers, enhancing their mechanical properties and thermal stability. DTBP is essential in the production of thermosetting plastics, such as epoxies and unsaturated polyester resins, and is used to modify polymer properties and create polymer blends with improved compatibility and performance.
A convenient Fe-catalyzed A-D-A-T-type radical-dual-difunctionalization and cross-coupling of two different alkenes provides chain elongated and trifluoromethylated aromatic alkenes.
A convenient method for the synthesis of aryl thioamides from aryl aldehydes and tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD) in the presence of CuI and di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) avoids the use of a sulfurating reagent. The protocol offers broad substrate scope, very good yields, operability and uses commercially available and inexpensive raw materials.
Di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) is increasingly used in biotechnology and material science for applications such as biopolymer synthesis, crosslinking biomedical devices, developing polymer-based nanocomposites, and surface modification of polymers. In biotechnology, it aids in producing biodegradable plastics like PLA and PHA, while in material science, it improves the stability, biocompatibility, and mechanical properties of materials used in medical devices and advanced electronics.
Di-tert-butyl peroxide should be handled with caution due to its flammability and reactivity. It must be stored in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, light, and direct sources of impact. Protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and flame arrestors should be used, and it should never be exposed to shock or friction. Proper labeling and adherence to safety data sheets (SDS) are essential for safe handling.
In case of accidental exposure to di-tert-butyl peroxide, remove the affected individual from the exposure area immediately. If inhaled, move the person to fresh air and seek medical attention if symptoms persist. For skin contact, wash the affected area with soap and water, and seek medical advice. In case of eye contact, rinse eyes with water for at least 15 minutes and consult a healthcare professional. For spills or leaks, use inert absorbent materials, avoid open flames, and consult the product's safety data sheet for specific emergency protocols.
