I deny this is NFPA 4-4-4. See: http://environmentalchemistry.com/yogi/chemicals/cn/tert-Butyl%A0hydroperoxide.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.240.41.226 ( talk) 03:22, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
I can't believe that it's NFPA 4-4-4 either. I doubt I'd be around if it were, since I'm often adding 200mL or more to a reaction at 80C. There's a more realistic 3-2-2 here and a 1-4-4 here. Basically it seems no-one can decide on the rating (4-4-4 here). But at the moment it's rather misleading to suggest it's as toxic as VX gas and as sensitive as nitroglycerine - it's just not. I don't want to change it without some consensus though (can't find a reference for neat TBHP) Lexyboy ( talk) 14:00, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
I think that the systematic name 2-Methylpropane-2-peroxol is not correct: suffix peroxol is valid for inorganic chemistry not yet for organic compounds. Biglama ( talk) 13:12, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Is there any replacement of tBuOOH in sharpless epoxidation? Pktheanonymous ( talk) 14:32, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
