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

Formation[edit]

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
