| With benzene, it is used to synthesize first cumene and then acetone and phenol. |
| The cumene hydroperoxide process is the dominant process used in the commercial production of acetone. |
| Alkyl hydroperoxides include cumene hydroperoxide and t-butyl hydroperoxides. |
| In recent years, the world's cumene production capacity has increased significantly. |
| Cumene demand remains strong, but Shell will have a cumene turnaround in September and release some benzene demand. |
| The methods of its synthesis include oxidation of 2-propanol, the hydration of propene, and as a co-product of the O 2 oxidation of cumene. |
