p-MENTHANE-8-HYDROPEROXIDE Production

Reactivity Profile of P-Menthane-8-hydroperoxide (80-47-7):  Most alkyl monohydroperoxides are liquid, the explosivity of the lower members (e.g., methyl hydroperoxide, or possibly due to traces of the dialkyl peroxides) decreasing with increasing chain length and branching [Bretherick 2nd ed. 1979. p. 10].
