Abstract
Organic hydroperoxides are decomposed by drying a reaction mixture containing the organic hydroperoxide and an organic solvent and contacting the dried reaction mixture with a metal organic ligand catalyst under hydroperoxide decomposition conditions. An organic co-solvent for the hydroperoxide may also be used.
Claims31
Method for decomposing organic hydroperoxides which comprises drying a reaction mixture comprising an organic hydroperoxide, an organic solvent for said hydroperoxide, and water, thereby to obtain a dried reaction mixture and contacting said dried reaction mixture with a metal organic ligand catalyst for said decomposing.
