Abstract

An aromatic primary hydroperoxide is produced by oxidizing a methyl-substituted aromatic compound in a liquid phase with a molecular oxygen-containing gas at a temperature of 80.degree.-150.degree. C. under a pressure of the atmospheric to 100 kg/cm.sup.2 gage in the presence of 8-300 parts by weight of an aliphatic tertiary hydroperoxide per 100 parts by weight of the methyl-substituted aromatic compound. The oxidation reaction is promoted, an aromatic primary hydroperoxide content of the reaction products is increased, whereas by-products are reduced, and a selectivity to the aromatic primary hydroperoxide is considerably increased.
