A continuous flow production process for preparing organic peroxides directly from alcohols or alkanes takes very safe alcohols or alkanes as starting materials, and directly reacts to obtain designated peroxides. The production process is carried out in an integrated continuous flow reactor, and a safe starting source of alcohol or alkane is continuously added at the feed inlet of the integrated continuous flow reactor, and continuously provided with a designated peroxide at the discharge port of the integrated continuous flow reactor.

The first aspect of the present invention is intended to provide a method for producing an oxidation reaction product of the hydrocarbon or a derivative thereof efficiently using hydrocarbon or a derivative thereof as a raw material. In order to achieve the above object, the first aspect of the present invention provides a method for producing an oxidation reaction product of a hydrocarbon or a derivative thereof. The method includes the step of irradiating a reaction system with light in the presence of a raw material and a chlorine dioxide radical. The raw material is hydrocarbon or a derivative thereof, the reaction system is a reaction system containing an organic phase, and the organic phase contains the raw material and the chlorine dioxide radical. In the step of irradiating a reaction system with light, the raw material is oxidized by the light irradiation to generate an oxidation reaction product of the raw material.
