This invention belongs to the field of acyclic compound technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing tert-amyl
peroxide. A tert-amyl
hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution is added to a
solvent and stirred to obtain a
mixed solution. Under stirring conditions, p-toluenesulfonic acid and
ferric phosphide are added sequentially to the
mixed solution. After the addition is complete, stirring continues to produce reaction solution I. Under stirring conditions,
acetic anhydride is added to reaction solution I. After the addition is complete, stirring continues to produce reaction solution II. A washing solution is added to reaction solution II, and the mixture is stirred and washed, then separated to obtain crude tert-amyl
peroxide. The crude tert-amyl peroxide is washed, dried, and the
solvent is removed to obtain tert-amyl peroxide. This invention avoids the problems of large amounts of
hydrochloric acid produced by traditional
acyl chloride methods and the corrosiveness caused by using
sulfuric acid as a catalyst. Furthermore,
ferric phosphide is magnetic, allowing for recycling through
magnetic separation after the reaction. p-Toluenesulfonic acid can be regenerated through
ion exchange resin, significantly reducing production costs.
