Associative model of activation of diacyl peroxides by chloride salts of amines

Intermolecular and ion-molecule interactions of benzoyl peroxide with tetraethylammonium chloride in an acetonitrile medium have been investigated by means of NMR. The types of association of the diacyl peroxide with ammonium chloride have been modeled by means of the MNDO method. The state of the peroxide molecule in the associate has been analyzed.
