Procedure

2-Methyl-3-buten-2-ol, 2-propanol and tert.-butyl peroxy pivalate (75% solution in aliphates) are reacted in a molar ratio of 1:15:0.3 at 90° C. and a pressure of 500 kPa as described in example 1. After a contact period of 20 minutes of the reaction mixture in a tube reactor 95% of the olefin used has been converted. 2,5-dimethylhexane-2,5-diol is formed with a selectivity of 76%.
