Cumene hydroperoxide is an intermediate in the cumene process for developing phenol and acetone from benzene and propene. It is typically used as an oxidizing agent.^[2] Products of decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide are methylstyrene, acetophenone, and cumyl alcohol.^[3] Its formula is C₆H₅C(CH₃)₂OOH.

One of the key uses for the material is as a free radical initiator for acrylate and methacrylate monomers.
