Abstract
A process for splitting primary or secondary alkylaromatic hydroperoxides into phenolic products and carbonyl products is disclosed which consists of reacting the hydroperoxide with a catalytic amount of an acid in the presence of an aprotic polar solvent which is a polymethylene-sulphone or an alkylene glycol carbonate which contains 2 to 4 carbon atoms (in the alkylene part).
