The peroxide bond undergoes homolysis at temperatures >100 °C. For this reason di-tert-butyl peroxide is commonly used as a radical initiator in organic synthesis and polymer chemistry. The decomposition reaction proceeds via the generation of methyl radicals.

(CH3)3COOC(CH3)3 → 2 (CH3)3CO.(CH3)3CO. → (CH3)2CO + CH3.2 CH3. → CH3-CH3

DTBP can in principle be used in engines where oxygen is limited, since the molecule supplies both the oxidizer and the fuel.
