Hazard Predictions

Dimethyl sulfide causes dibenzoyl peroxide to decompose explosively (Pryor, W.A. et al. 1972. Journal of Organic Chemistry 37:2885).

Benzoyl peroxide undergoes a thermal decomposition to CO2, BzOH, benzene and other hydrocarbons, and diphenyl ether (Uetake, et al. Chem. Abs. 1974. 81 5175).

O2 gas may be released from the decomposition of organic peroxides (Davies, A. G. Organic Peroxides. London: Butterworths, 1961. pp. 171).

Additionally, some may liberate aldehydes upon decomposition as well, such as dimethyl peroxide which gives formaldehyde upon decomposition (Rodd, E. H, Ed. Chemistry of Organic Compounds. New York: Elsevier Publishing Company, 1951. Vol. Ia pp. 327).
