Hazard Predictions

Aniline and ethylenediamine catalyze the decomposition of diisopropylperoxydicarbonate (Strain, F.J. 1950. Journal of the American Chemical Society 72:1254).

Tertiary amines may be attacked by organic peroxides forming amine oxides, which may then decompose to form nitric oxide (Davies, A. G. Organic Peroxides. London: Butterworth's, 1961. pp. 136).

Amines in general are known to catalyze the exothermic decomposition of many peroxides (Sanchez, J., T.N. Meyers. 2000. Peroxides and Peroxide Compounds, Organic Peroxides. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons. (Online)); the reaction may be violent (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 392).

The reduction of tert-butyl hydroperoxide by 4-methyl-2-pentylamine gave high conversions to tert-butyl alcohol and water and produced a substituted ketimine (Harold E. De La Mare., J. Org. Chem., 1960, 25 (12), pp 2114-2126).
