Four commercial neo acids (synthetic trialkylacetic acids) C 5 , C 7 , C 10 , and C 13 are synthesized employing an olefin, carbon monoxide, and acidic catalyst and possess the hindered neo configuration around the alpha carbon. Esterification using simple alcohols and polyols, and preparation of peroxyesters and metal salts using neo acids as well as toxicity, LD 50 values of the acids, are discussed. Hydrolytic stability of the esters, and possible end use applications are described.
