1,1,3,3-Tetramethylbutyl hydroperoxide is heat and contamination sensitive.

Most alkyl monohydroperoxides are liquid, the explosivity of the lower members (e.g., methyl hydroperoxide, or possibly due to traces of the dialkyl peroxides) decreasing with increasing chain length and branching [Bretherick 2nd ed. 1979 p.10].
