Hydrogen Peroxide → Perhydroxyl radical

Participants

Reaction Steps

These processes are known from EP 0 424 787. EP 0 424 787 describes that an aqueous solution of sulphuric acid is added to a mixture of 2-(3-hydroxypropyl)-1-cyclododecanone and glacial acetic acid. To this mixture hydrogen peroxide (70%) is added, which reacts with 2-(3-hydroxypropyl)-1-cyclododecanone to form a precipitate of a hydroperoxide of 2-(3-hydroxypropyl)-1-cyclododecanone (referred to as DDP-OOH). The precipitate is subsequently filtered, washed with water and then with diluted NaHCO3, after which it is dried.
