Collection: Radical Generators [Synthetic Reagents]

Radical Generators [Synthetic Reagents] — includes organic peroxides, hydroperoxides, and azo compounds that readily decompose to form free radicals through homolytic bond cleavage when heated or activated. This group serves as a source of initiators in various reactions based on radical mechanisms.

Radical Generators are used as initiators in free radical polymerization to produce polymers and synthetic rubbers, as well as in crosslinking reactions in the manufacture of elastomeric materials. Polymer chemistry and organic radical researchers also utilize these azo and peroxide derivatives to trigger radical addition and substitution reactions in organic synthesis.
