Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses substituent effects, linear free energy relations, kinetic isotope studies, and conformation analysis of products. Existing interpretations of such data have been summarized, and in some instances, new interpretations have also been presented. It discusses relative rate and kinetic isotope studies, which are conceded reliable, and to contribute significantly to the elucidation of the kinetics. Photochemical and irradiation induced reactions do not produce unimolecular reactions, which can be studied quantitatively; therefore, the vast majority of the reactions reviewed here are those induced thermally. To facilitate the presentation of the data, organic group class, for example, alcohols, anhydrides, ethers, esters, acids, and peroxides have grouped reactions, and have all been reviewed in detail. This provides a convenient data reference source, but has the distinct disadvantage of not emphasizing the similarities in mechanism, which exist among molecules of the various organic group classes. It examines that kinetic results for gas phase and for solution and other condensed phases are presented separately.

Thermal hazards of benzoyl peroxide and its derived process products through theoretical thermodynamics assessment and different calorimetric technologies.
TL;DR: The hazard level of BPO mixed with its by-products from the reaction process was much higher than that of pure BPO, and the related processes and their products are critical to prevent these kinds of chemical contingencies.
