Methyl hydroperoxide is the organic compound with the formula CH3OOH. It is a volaltile colorless liquid. In addition to being of theoretical interest as the simplest hydroperoxide, methyl hydroperoxide is an intermediate in the oxidation of methane in the atmosphere.[1] It is rather explosive, unlike related tertiary hydroperoxides.[2] Its laboratory preparation was first reported in 1929.[3]
