Tert-butanol peroxide is an organic peroxide. It is a colorless liquid and has a volatile fragrance at room temperature. Tert-butanol peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent and has a strong oxidizing capacity for organic substances. It can react with many substances, such as alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, etc. In the reaction, it will break out an oxygen molecule, form a free radical, and cause an oxidation reaction of the substance.

Tert-butanol peroxide has good combustion performance and can be used as fuel or for oxidation reactions in industry. It has strong oxidizing properties. Care should be taken when using it to avoid reactions with flammable substances, etc. Tert-butanol peroxide should be stored and used away from high temperatures and direct sunlight to prevent the risk of spontaneous decomposition or explosion. In the laboratory, it is often diluted for use to reduce its strong oxidizing property and danger.

Tert-butanol peroxide is an organic compound, commonly abbreviated as TBHP. It is mainly used as an oxidant and a free radical initiator.

Tert-butanol peroxide can be used as an oxidant in organic synthesis, capable of oxidizing alkenes to alcohols, ketones or aldehydes. It can also be used to oxidize other organic compounds such as amines, sulfides and selenides.

Tert-butanol peroxide can also be used as a free radical initiator in polymerization reactions. It can trigger free radical polymerization reactions, such as the polymerization of acrylate, butenate and organosilicon monomers, thereby preparing various polymer materials.

Tert-butanol peroxide can also be used in industrial applications such as surface treatment agents, rubber additives and polymer crosslinking agents. In the biomedical field, it is also used as a biological reagent, such as a chemical reagent in the sequencing of biological deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

Here are some safety information about tert-butanol peroxide:
1. Toxicity: Tert-butanol peroxide is highly toxic and harmful to human health. It can cause irritation and corrosiveness, and harm the eyes, skin and respiratory system.
2. Flammability: Tert-butanol peroxide is a flammable compound that can burn rapidly in the air and produce toxic gases during combustion.
3. Storage: Tert-butanol peroxide should be stored in a cool and well-ventilated place. Avoid contact with fire sources, high temperatures, high humidity, oxidants and other substances. Exposure to direct sunlight and heat sources should be avoided.
4. Handling: When handling tert-butanol peroxide, personal protective equipment such as protective glasses, gloves and protective clothing should be worn. Avoid inhaling its vapor and contact with skin. The processing should be carried out in a well-ventilated area to avoid generating dust and vapor.
5. Waste Disposal: Tert-butanol peroxide is a hazardous chemical, and its waste must not be dumped at will. Appropriate waste disposal methods should be adopted in accordance with local regulations and requirements.
