Abstract
Ethylbenzene hydroperoxide (EBOOH) is used as an initiator of polymerization of anaerobic adhesives. It was experimentally established that the complex of dibenzo-18-crown-6 ether with CaCl2 (Ca2+∙DBC) accelerates the ethylbenzene oxidation. Based on quantum-chemical modeling by the PBEPBE-GD3/def2TZVP method, it was revealed that the formation of the catalyst’s intermediate adducts with the reaction system’s components is possible and energetically favorable. The O–O bond strength decreases both in α-EBOOH and in β-EBOOH in the adduct EBOOH∙Ca2+∙DBC. However, the adduct α-EBOOH∙Ca2+∙DBC promotes a more rapid decomposition of ethylbenzene hydroperoxide into radicals.
