RESUMO
We report the experimental preparation of the 1,3-butanal-1,2,4,5-tetroxane by oxidation of glutataldehyde with oxygen peroxide in presence of concentrated sulfuric acid, following the Bayer and Viller method modified by Jorge et al. The UV and IR spectra are studied from the experimental and theoretical standpoint. A rather complete vibrational assignment was performed and the nature of the electronic transitions was discussed in detail.

A thermochemical a rather simple experimental technique method, is used to determine the enthalpy of the formation of 3,6-dibutanoic-1,2,4,5-tetroxane. The study is complemented with suitable theoretical calculations at the semiempirical and ab initio levels. A particular satisfactory agreement between both ways is found for the ab initio calculation at the 6-311G basis set level. Some possible extensions of the present procedure are pointed out.
