methylchloroformate reaction
« on: October 20, 2017, 09:17:07 AM »
Dear All,

Methyl chloroformate is incompatible strong oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxyde.
Does it transform it into methanol + HCl + CO2? Does it leeds to other uncontroled radical substances too  ??? ?

Both!
Methyl chloroformate is mainly transformed to methanol + HCl + CO2.
But radical reactions are highly exothermic and thus, the heat of uncontrolled peroxidation generates various radicals that form different products by undergoing propagation and termination steps.
