Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example III was repeated, but this time cumene (0.056 moles) and hydrogen peroxide (35%, 0.22 moles) were used. The reaction mixture, analysed by HPLC, revealed that 87.4% of the cumene had been consumed, yielding products including acetophenone (43.1% yield) and 2-phenyl-2-propanol (30.6% yield).
