PROCESS FOR PRODUCING HYDROPEROXIDES

Title:

PROCESS FOR PRODUCING HYDROPEROXIDES

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/1999/002491

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A process for producing hydroperoxides by oxidizing a hydrocarbon with an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a specified compound to selectively convert the hydrocarbon into a corresponding hydroperoxide. The specified compounds are those capable of trapping free radicals, and preferred examples thereof include oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, carbon and silicon radicals, and compounds capable of forming such radicals in a reaction system. This process is applicable to the oxidation of hydrocarbons including arylalkylhydrocarbons such as cumene, cymene, m-diisopropylbenzene, p-diisopropylbenzene, 1,3,5-triisopropylbenzene, isopropylnaphthalene, diisopropylnaphthalene, isopropylbiphenyl and diisopropylbiphenyl.
