  • Liquid phase oxidation of organic compounds to their hydroperoxides
    Patent number: 4602118
    Abstract: This invention deals with a process for the production of hydroperoxides from their corresponding hydrocarbons via the use of certain ketones, particularly aryl ketones, generally having strong substituent electrophilic groups, as promoters. These promoters increase the rate of thermal oxidation and improve selectivity to the hydroperoxide products.
