Abstract:
1. A process for the preparation of a peroxyester said process comprising conducting the following sequential steps: (a) reacting an hydroxyhydroperoxide with a base in the absence of an organic solvent, and with a molar ratio R (b) on completion of step (a) reacting resultant salt of hydroxyhydroperoxide with an acid chloride or an acid anhydride in the absence of an organic solvent to form a peroxyester, wherein the mol ratio R (c) recovering said peroxyester from step (b) so as to produce a final product, said recovery being conducted in the absence of an organic solvent, and wherein the hydroxyhydroperoxide is a hydroxy(tertiary-alkyl) hydroperoxide in which the hydroxyl group is situated in the 3 position with respect to the hydroperoxy group.
