General description

Hydrogen peroxide solution is commonly used as a bleaching agent.[1] . H2O2 is a reactive oxygen species formed as a reaction product of various aerobic metabolic processes.[2] Its ultra-trace quantification in the concentration range of 10-11mole/ml by a fluorometric method has been described.[3]

Application

Greener oxidant used for bromination of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, amide bond formation from amines and aldehydes, halogenation of aromatic compounds and dethioacetalization.

Highly Selective Oxidative Monochlorination To Synthesize Organic Intermediates: 2-Chlorotoluene, 2-Chloroaniline, 2-Chlorophenol, and 2-Chloro-4-methylphenol
Hydrogen peroxide solution has also been used in the preparation of ′Piranha′, a sulfuric acid/hydrogen peroxide mixture for cleaning silicon wafers used in nanostructure-initiator mass spectrometry (NIMS) chips.[4]
It can be used as an oxidant for:
  • Epoxidation of terminal olefins under halide-free conditions.[5]
  • Oxidation of cyclohexene to adipic acid under organic solvent- and halide-free conditions.[6]
Hydrogen peroxide solution has been used in an immunoblotting protocol.[7]

    Good but...

    This was a good product if you need 30% w/w hydrogen peroxide, but it did leak during shipping. It comes in an oversized bottle to prevent leaks, but when it arrived, the plastic wrapped around it was wet so there had been some leakage. It wasn't a lot that leaked but it was something.
