What products form when diacetyl peroxide decomposes?

When diacetyl peroxide decomposes in solution, it primarily breaks down into carbon dioxide ($C{O}_2$) and methyl radicals ($·C{H}_3$).1

These highly reactive methyl radicals are transient intermediates that typically undergo further reactions with the surrounding environment. For instance, they often attack organic solvents by abstracting hydrogen atoms, which results in the formation of methane ($C{H}_4$) along with various other secondary products.1
