An olefin such as alpha -methylstyrene or a substituted alpha -methylstyrene, wherein the substituent is on the phenyl ring, a t-cumyl halide corresponding to the hydrohalogenated olefin or a substituted t-cumyl chloride and hydrogen peroxide are reacted under relatively non-aqueous conditions, in the absence of a free acid and in the presence of a phenol, to obtain a symmetrical dicumyl (or substituted dicumyl) peroxide which is useful as cross-linking agents for polyethylene and elastomers. |
