Thermal Stability of Cyclododecylidene-1,1-bishydroperoxide in the Presence of Ferrocene

Thermal stability of cyclododecylidene-1,1-bishydroperoxide in xylene has been studied and activation parameters of the reaction have been determined. The thermolysis has been accompanied by the reaction with ferrocene and the induced radical chain decomposition of cyclododecylidene-1,1-bishydroperoxide.
