Ethylbenzene hydroperoxide is the organic compound with the formula C6H5CH(O2H)CH3. A colorless liquid, EBHP is a common hydroperoxide. It has been used as an O-atom donor in organic synthesis. It is chiral. Together with tert-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide, ethylbenzene hydroperoxide is important commercially.[1]
The compound is produced by direct reaction of ethylbenzene with oxygen, an autoxidation.[2]
