Monoperoxyphthalic acid

Description:

Monoperoxyphthalic acid (CAS 2311-91-3) is an organic compound that belongs to the class of peracids, which are characterized by the presence of a peroxy group (-O-O-). This compound is derived from phthalic acid and is notable for its strong oxidizing properties, making it useful in various chemical reactions, particularly in organic synthesis. Monoperoxyphthalic acid is typically a white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents. It is often employed as a reagent in the oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds and in the epoxidation of alkenes. Due to its reactive nature, it must be handled with care, as it can pose hazards such as being a potential irritant and a strong oxidizer. Its applications extend to the fields of organic chemistry and materials science, where it serves as a valuable tool for introducing functional groups into organic molecules. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to ensure safety and stability.
