A process for producing a polyhydroperoxy aromatic compound by oxidation of an aromatic hydrocarbon, e.g., 4,4'-diisopropylbiphenyl and 4,4'-diisopropylnaphthalene, with molecular oxygen is disclosed, in which the oxidation is carried out in the presence of a metal ion selected from cobalt, nickel, zinc and lead ions. Even in using a reaction apparatus made of an iron-containing metal generally employed in industry, a high conversion of secondary alkyl groups can be reached, and the desired polyhydroperoxy aromatic compound can be obtained in a high yield.
                            本发明公开了一种通过
芳香烃(如 
4,4'-二异丙基联苯和 4,4'-二
异丙基萘)与分子氧的氧化反应生产聚氢过氧芳香化合物的工艺,其中氧化反应是在选自
钴、
镍、
锌和
铅离子的
金属离子存在下进行的。即使使用工业中普遍使用的含
铁金属制成的反应装置,也能达到较高的仲烷基转化率,并能以较高的产率获得所需的多氢过氧芳香化合物。
