Which of the following is not a suitable initiator for free radical addition polymerization reaction? |
Acetyl peroxide Benzoyl peroxide tert-Butyl peroxide Benzoquinone |
Benzoquinone |
Benzoquinone combines with the free radical intermediate to form a highly stable, non-reactive radical because of resonance. This inhibits the further progress of the chain growth and therefore, the reaction stops. Peroxides are very important free radical generating initiators. |
