di-tert-butyl-peroxide

Make a chemical structure model of di-tert-butyl-peroxide from Authentic Molymod Atoms & Bonds by Indigo Instruments

Di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) is an organic peroxide consisting of two tert-butyl (2-methylpropane) groups connected by a peroxide group. It cannot be used as a disinfectant nor can the concentration be determined by our standard hydrogen peroxide test strips..

It has industrial and laboratory applications which use the free radicals produced by its decomposition at high temperature which in turn initiate or catalyze chemical reactions. 

A molecular model of di-tert-butyl-peroxide in the Molymod Hybrid Dome style uses the atoms & bonds in the parts list below. Our free 3D Molecular Model Builder shows other styles & allows for image rotation as an assembly guide.
