'''Di-''tert''-butyl peroxide''' or '''DTBP''' is an ] consisting of a ] group flanked by two ] groups. It is amongst the most stable ]s. The peroxide bond undergoes ] at temperatures >100 °C, and for this reason di-''tert''-butyl peroxide is commonly used as a ] in organic synthesis and polymer chemistry. '''Di-''tert''-butyl peroxide''' or '''DTBP''' is an ] consisting of a ] group bonded to two ] groups. It is one of the most stable ]s, due to the ''tert''-butyl groups being bulky. It is a colorless liquid.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|first1=T.

This compound will decompose ] and also ], making it a very interesting ] source.
The peroxide bond undergoes ] at temperatures above 100&nbsp;°C. For this reason di-''tert''-butyl peroxide is commonly used as a ] in organic synthesis and polymer chemistry. The ] proceeds via the generation of ].

DTBP can in principle be used in engines where ] is limited, since the molecule supplies both the oxidizer and the fuel.<ref>{{cite journal | first1 = H. O. |last1=Pritchard |first2=P. Q.

DTBP is an irritant to the nose, eyes, and skin. It is also flammable, and can explode unpredictably at high (≈150&nbsp;°C) temperatures.<ref>Sime, Rodney&nbsp;J. (13 June 1988). "Di-''tert''-butyl peroxide" (letter to the editor), in '']'', p.&nbsp;4. {{doi|10.1021/cen-v066n024.p004|doi-access=free}}</ref>

Two ] scientists, H. O. Pritchard and P. Q. E. Clothier, have demonstrated and suggested the use of DTBP in engines where ] is limited, since it will work whether or not oxygen is present.<ref>{{Citation | author = H. O. Pritchard and P. Q. E.
