Photolysis and thermolysis of di-n-butylmalonyl peroxide (I) affords ¦Á-lactone II as a reaction intermediate. In a nonprotic solvent such as C6H6 or n-hexane II polymerizes to give polyester III, while in MeOH or EtOH it is trapped nucleophilically in the form of ROCBu2CO2H (R = Me, Et). Some of the ¦Á-lactone decarbonylates into 5-nonanone, but only small amounts decarboxylate to give 4-nonene, presumably via its carbene. In the thermal decomposition of I in MeOH and EtOH ¦Á-lactone formation is competed for by solvolytic reaction. This solvolytic process predominates over ¦Á-lactone formation in the thermolysis of I in EtOH.
