Magnesium salt of monoperoxyphthalic acid

More complex pre-formed pereacids, such as 3-chloroperbenzoic acid223 or the magnesium salt of monoperoxyphthalic acid,224 may also be used to oxidize aromatic aldehydes, either to carboxylic acids or phenols. 

The magnesium salt of monoperoxyphthalic acid is an alternative. Peroxyacetic acid, peroxybenzoic acid, and peroxytrifluoroacetic acid also are used frequently for epoxidation. All of the peroxycarboxylic acids are potentially explosive materials and require careful handling. Potassium hydrogen peroxysulfate, which is sold commercially as Oxone , is a convenient reagent for epoxidations that can be done in aqueous solution. 

Two solid organic peracids have been utilized in textile bleaching products. Diperoxydodecanedioic acid, (16), [66280-55-5], a hydrotropic peracid, and the magnesium salt [78948-87-5] of monoperoxyphthalic acid, (17), [2311-91-3]y a hydrophilic peracid, were contained in bleaching products for a short... 

The reaction of alkenes with peroxy acids provides for convenient and selective oxidation of double bonds. The peroxy acids most commonly used in the laboratory are m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA), monoperoxyphthalic acid magnesium salt (MMPP), peroxybenzoic acid, peroxyformic acid, peroxyacetic acid, trifluoroper-oxyacetic acid, and 7-butyl hydroperoxide f(CH3)3COOH]. The order of reactivity for...
