HCID 53627471Cumen hydroperoxide

Procedure

Cumene was air-oxidized at 100°-110° C. in the presence of an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate. After the reaction, oil-water separation was conducted, and the oily product was concentrated to provide a solution of cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) of which composition is indicated in Table 1.
