ABSTRACT:
A process for the oxidation of diethylbenzene comprising contacting an unpurified diethylbenzene feedstock with from about 0.01% to about 5.0% by weight of an alkaline earth metal oxide and concurrently and/or in a separate subsequent step contacting the diethylbenzene feedstock with a molecular oxygen-containing gas at a temperature between about 100.degree. C. and 170.degree. C. This process enables oxidation of diethylbenzenes to diethylbenzene hydroperoxide with a high degree of selectivity without the necessity of prior purification of the diethylbenzene feedstock, for example, by distillation or absorption techniques.
