Summary Azo diacyl peroxide compounds have been successfully used as sequential bifunctional initiators, in reactions of radicalic polymerization of vinyl monomers, for block copolymer obtaining. Resuming previous investigations, the 0-[4-(t-butylazo)-4-cyanovaleryl]-0'-actyl-peroxide has been synthesized; this is a new azo diacyl peroxide compound, obtained either by the direct condensation of the 4-(t-butylazo)-4-cyanovaleric acid(the BACV acid) with peracetic acid — under the dehydrating action of the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide — or from the chloride of the respective acid by treatment with peracetic acid in the presence of pyridine. The initiator structure is confirmed by the characteristics evidenced by IR and H-NMR, as well as by the 13C-NMR spectra. The synthesized product may be kept, in cold conditions, for a long time; nevertheless, by contact with a base it manifests the tendency of changing itself into a symmetrical azo diacyl peroxide.
