Ethyl Peroxide
Does anyone have a synthesis for ethyl peroxide? Anyone have any info on boiling point of it?

A lab assistend told me:
Ethyl peroxide is really extremly sensitive (as NI3).
A synonym is ether peroxide
It will be build, when ethylether is reacted with air under reflux (catalyst is sunlight).
-
Dont't bubble too much air into the ether.
If the concentration of ethlyperoxid is too high, it will explode!
-
You can use it in solution of ether.
You can't isolate it, it will explode!
I hope, you ca understand my bad english.
I heard, that you can form a more stable peroxide (maybe AP) by reating isopropylether with air under reflux.

ethylperoxide
There is no such thing as "ethyl peroxide" only ethyl hydroperoxide, diethyl peroxide (from condensation of the hydroperoxide) and
ethylidene peroxide (aka acetaldehyde peroxide). Ether will not take any of these forms.
This is all off topic, if you would like to contest what I just said, take it <a

ethylperoxide
But NI3 is also a impossible stuff, or?
I found this http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:6FkbVCk9Q3UJ:enius.de/schadstoffe/diethylether.html+Ether+Ethylperoxid&hl=de on a German page.
It says exactly what I said!
(I know, this is not the right topic ---> NOW it is the right topic. Chemoleo.)

Check <a href="http://www.ilpi.com/msds/ref/peroxide.html">here</a> for the mechanics of ethers -> ether peroxides.
I've uploaded an article on methyl hydroperoxide, and some of its derivatives <a

I think he meant diethyl peroxide by "ether peroxide", since diethyl peroxide is just like ether, but with two oxygen atoms between the
ethyls instead of one.

Nope. Because the process given was for the peroxide derived from ether, which isn't diethyl peroxide, rather the god awful looking
CH3-CH2-O-CH(CH3)-O-O-CH(CH3)-O-CH2-CH3. The ethereal groups are preserved.
