Abstract
This invention refers to a process for the synthesis of cumene hydroperoxide and to the product thus obtained.More in particular, this invention refers to a process for the production of cumene hydroperoxide by oxidating cumene with oxygen, where this process is run in the presence of a basic medium insoluble in the reaction environment, and such as not to release inorganic cations to the reaction environment. Such a basic medium is preferably a pyridinic resin.The cumene hydroperoxide thus obtained, characterized by the fact of being free of inorganic cations, is a further object of the invention.
