tertButoxyRadikal
tertButoxyRadikal is a chemical species that is often encountered in organic chemistry. It is characterized by the presence of a tert-butyl group attached to a radical center. The tert-butyl group, with its three methyl substituents, provides significant steric hindrance around the radical. This steric bulk can influence the reactivity and stability of the radical species. The unpaired electron resides on an atom, typically carbon, and its behavior is a focus of study in reaction mechanisms.
The formation of tertButoxyRadikal can occur through various chemical pathways, often involving the homolytic cleavage of
