Cumene hydroperoxide

Cumene hydroperoxide is an organic hydroperoxide intermediate in the cumene process for synthesizing phenol and acetone from benzene and propene. It is typically used as an oxidizing agent. Products of decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide are methylstyrene, acetophenone, and cumyl alcohol. Its formula is C6H5C(CH3)2OOH.
