Abstract
There is provided a novel organic hydroperoxide, 3-(2-hydroperoxy-2-propyl)phenol. The hydroperoxide is produced by oxidizing 3-(2-hydroxy-2-propyl)phenol or m-isopropenylphenol with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an acid catalyst. There is further provided a method of producing resorcinol which comprises decomposing the 3-(2-hydroperoxy-2-propyl)phenol in the presence of an acid catalyst.
