Summary 1. We have investigated the kinetics of isobutane oxidation, In the presence of HBr in terms of the consumption of i-C4H1, O1, and HBr and the formations of ten-butyl hydroperoxide, tert-butyl alcohol, acetone, CO,and CO1. 2. We have clearly demonstrated that the process occurs in stages, i.e., macroscopic stages separate in time. The first stage consists in the oxidation of isobutane, mainly to tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Oxygen is no longer consumed in the second stage, and isobutane is oxidized by tert-butyl hydroperoxide to tert-butyl alcohol, the hydroperoxide being converted to acetone.
