Hazard Predictions

Organic peroxides may decompose in the presence of reactive nitrides and other related compounds to yield toxic and flammable alcohols and ethers, flammable hydrocarbons and O2 and inert CO2 gases (Predicted).

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

Some peroxides may liberate aldehydes upon decomposition, 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).
