A process for the distillative separation of tertiary alkyl hydroperoxides of the formula R-OOH wherein R is a tertiary alkyl group with 4 to 6 carbon atoms from the corresponding di-tertiary alkyl peroxides resulting during their preparation, which process comprises neutralizing the reaction mixture resulting during the preparation of the tertiary alkyl hydroperoxide, subjecting same to vacuum distillation in the presence of water at a temperature of less than about 45 DEG C. and recovering the purified tertiary alkyl hydroperoxide as a bottoms product. |
