Organc peroxides

[oryp69]

i am doing a research project on organic peroxides for english class and if anyone knows of any books where i could find information about them that would b appreciated...i have the chemistry of powder and explosives, i had the librarian order a book called organic peroxides, but any other books would also be appreciated

i wouldn't be asking this if i could use the internet as a source, but it has to be all books, bcuz the teacher said the internet has too much untruthful information

Your doing a project on organic peroxides for english class in the US?

Internet sources are unreliable, find as much internet information as possible on the subject, and then find references that back up that information until it stands up by itself. The internet is a good springboard for that sort of thing.

Search this forum for existing information, there is quite a bit.

When the book comes OCR it and offer the pdf up for sacrifice, then maybe they might possibly overlook this rather badly organised and underresearched attempt to get other people to do your project for you <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Acetone peroxide,
Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide,
Phorone Penta Peroxide,
HMTD
Have all been discussed, and those are only the ones I can remeber offhand.

Getting information on acetic acid, and benzoic acid based peroxides should be easy in a good library.

I've also been looking for information on peroxides on the 'net and would appreciate if you could link your findings in here! Something I've always wondered is why MEKP hasnt been popular here ? its very easy to make ( i followed the post on here on it but used hcl with better yields) and much more stable the AP. the only problem i've had with it is when it has soaked in to something (match stick or wooden table) and ignited from a flame..instead of flaring up like AP it will detonate..if on a flat surface it does whats expected and flares up. ive heard that its a little stronger than AP also...a friend is going to do some expirements with it today and i'll post his findings in here..

oryp69, this topic isn't going anywhere, and barely relevent.
binary mz, it would be helpful to post the results in the MEKP topic unless that topic has been moved to the archives.

Christ!

It's almost like a gazelle (k3wL) walking up to a sleeping lion (NBK), prying the lions mouth open, and sticking it's head in. :)

It's so easy that the lion won't even bother with it, since it's beneath the lions dignity to do so.

Go elsewhere if you can't be bothered to read the abundant posts on the very subject you asked because you're TOO lazy to be worth expending our time in replying to since it'd be lost on your stunted brain.
