Chemical structure of diethyl ether hydroperoxide.png

Diethyl ether hydroperoxide, also known as ether peroxide is an oily liquid that slowly forms in diethyl ether upon storage under air and light. Ether peroxide is extremely explosive. This is the reason that diethyl ether and other peroxide forming ethers like tetrahydrofuran (THF) or ethylenglycoldimethylether (1,2-dimethoxyethane) are avoided in industrial processes.
