Hydrogen Peroxide → HCID 178511810, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

21 g of histidine and 189 g of water were placed in a 300 ml conical beaker. To the resultant slurry was added 11.5 g of 60% aqueous hydrogen peroxide little by little under stirring. After 20 minutes of stirring, the slurry was filtered off and the resultant crystals were washed with cold methanol, then dried to afford 2.08 g (82%) of a histidine-hydrogen peroxide adduct. The decomposition temperature of the adduct was found to be 146.8° C.
