The di‐tertiary butyl peroxide initiated free radical addition of methyl phenylacetate, methyl p ‐tolylacetate and methyl p ‐methoxyphenylacetate to 1‐decene gives two types of products. In addition to the expected a ‐branched esters, dehydrodimer (both meso and dl ) esters were also obtained. The highest yield of a ‐branched ester was obtained from methyl phenylacetate. Higher yields of the dehydrodimer esters were obtained from the substituted phenyl esters. Attempts to add methyl p ‐nitrophenylacetate to 1‐decene were not successful and no evidence for the formation of a dehydrodimer product was observed.
