Oxidation peroxygen compound

The peroxygen compounds, hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid, have high killing activity and a broad spectrum against bacteria, spores, viruses, and fungi when used in appropriate concentration. They have the advantage that their decomposition products are not toxic and do not injure the environment. They are powerful oxidizers that are used primarily as disinfectants and sterilants. 

Organic peroxygen compounds other than peracids have not found wide use in aldehyde oxidation, although some examples of the use of organic hydroperoxides, including /-butyl peroxides (TBHP) and 2-hydroperoxyhexafluoro-propan-2-ol have been reported.213...

Dioxiranes. These organic peroxygen compounds are relative newcomers to synthetic chemistry, but in the last ten years it has been shown that they are among the most powerful and versatile non-metal oxidants available to the organic chemist, with the ability to oxidise amines to nitro-compounds, to epoxidise very unreactive double bonds, and to hydroxy late alkanes and aromatic side-chains [26]. 

In the present section we have highlighted research that has been carried out using polyoxometalates as catalysts for oxidation with peroxygen compounds. Not all of the synthetic applications have been noted, but those missing have been previously reviewed [2]. It is important to stress that from a synthetic point of view various substrates with varying functional groups can be effectively transformed to desired products. In addition, interesting reaction selectivity can be obtained in certain cases.
