Ethyl hydroperoxide is the organic compound with the formula CH3CH2OOH. It is a colorless liquid that is miscible with water and diethyl ether.

Formation

Ethyl hydroperoxide is formed in the flame of burning alkanes.[1] Ethyl hydroperoxide is also formed in the catalytic reaction of ethane and hydrogen peroxide.[2] Yet another way to form ethyl hydroperoxide is by a photocatalytic oxidation of ethane:[3]

CH3CH3 + O2 → CH3CH2OOH
