The kinetics of liquid‐phase oxidation of 1‐methoxy‐2‐(1‐methylethyl)benzene ( 1a ), 1‐methoxy‐3‐(1‐methylethyl)benzene ( 1b ), and 1‐methoxy‐4‐(1‐methylethyl)benzene ( 1c ) with oxygen as oxidant to yield the corresponding 1‐methyl‐1‐(2‐methoxyphenyl)ethyl ( 2a ), 1‐methyl‐1‐(3‐methoxyphenyl)ethyl ( 2b ), and 1‐methyl‐1‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)ethyl ( 2c ) hydroperoxides was studied. The oxidizabilities of  1a ,  1b , and  1c  were established over the temperature range 50–120°C. The overall activation energies of oxidation were determined for  1b  and  1c  over the temperature range 50–120°C. Thermal stability of  2a  and  2b  and the initiating properties of hydroperoxides  2a ,  2b , and  2c  were studied. Long‐term noncatalytic oxidations of  1b  and  1c  to respective hydroperoxides were carried out. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 37: 10–16, 2005
