Organic hydroperoxides and PAAs
The only protocol rule for alkyl hydroperoxides is the distinction by branching. The photolysis of peroxyacids (PAAs) is estimated with peracetic acid (CH3CO(OOH)) as surrogate. Details can be found in the table and schematic below.
Further protocol rules for organic compounds with a hydroperoxide group exist for compounds with other polyfunctional chromophores. For rules of compounds with different chromophore types, see the main page.
| Hydroperoxide compound class | j value |
|---|---|
| Linear alkyl hydroperoxides | J(6001) |
| Branched alkyl hydroperoxides | J(6002) |
| Peroxy acids (PAAs) | J(6004) |
