Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The liquid-phase oxidation of tetrahydrofuran and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran with oxygen, in the presence of UV light, gave the hydroperoxides in respective concentrations of 20 and 60%.

  2. 2.

    The formed 2-methyltetrahydrofuran hydroperoxide is composed of two isomers: 2-methyl-2-peroxytetrahydrofuran and 2-methyl-5-peroxytetrahydrofuran.
