Criegee intermediates are thought to react to form carboxylic acids, while the triacetone variety undergoes entropy explosions in a solid to gas reaction and do not require heat to form or decompose.
Criegee intermediates are thought to react to form carboxylic acids, while the triacetone variety undergoes entropy explosions in a solid to gas reaction and do not require heat to form or decompose. They easily form free radicals making them useful in polymerizations. Solid ones can be formed by the dehydration of ethers, although potassium hydroxide inhibits their formation. Solids ones are shock sensitive and will explosively decompose and the general variety can be formed by burning alkali metals in air. Diamagnetic in their ionic form, they can be formed by decomposition of ozone and the hydrogen variety exothermically decomposes into oxygen and water. For ten points, identify this functional group containing an oxygen bonded to an oxygen.
