Cumyl Hydroperoxide

Non-covalent interactions of the hydroperoxo group in crystalline adducts of organic hydroperoxides and their potassium salts

“…Organic hydroperoxides are relatively stable provided they are kept away from heat, reducing agents, strong acids and bases, and transition metal compounds. 13,14 However, spontaneous combustion or violent decomposition can occur in high-strength solutions, leading to explosions. 13 Organic hydroperoxides tend to be liquids at room temperature, making them less suitable for storage and transportation.…”
