Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0053550A1] An improved process for decomposing alkyl or aromatic hxdroperoxides to form a decomposition reaction mixture containing the corresponding alcohol and ketone. The improvement relates to decomposing the hydroperoxide by contacting the hydroperoxide with a catalitic amount of a heterogenous catalyst comprised of gold, wherein one or more additional metals selected from Periodic Group VIII is/are also present with gold. Moreover, the catalysts are optinally supported on a suitable support member, such as SiO2, Al2O3, carbon, zirconia, MgO or TiO2. The process may also optionally be run in the presence of hydrogen gas.
