Potassium caroate

The triple salt is better known by the trademarks Caroat (Degussa), OXONE Monopersulfate Compound (Du Pont), and Curox (Laporte). It is also known as potassium caroate. It has been made on a commercial scale siace the 1950s, and the world market ia 1994 was several thousand tons. It is made commercially by Peroxid-Chemie (Germany), Degussa (Germany), Du Pont (United States), and Migas (Japan). In 1994, the United Kingdom price was J1.80/kg ( 2.67/kg). 

The epoxidation of nonfunctionalized alkenes may also be effected by chiral dioxiranes. These species, formed in situ using the appropriate ketone and potassium caroate (Oxone), can be formed from C-2 symmetric chiral ketones (29)[93], functionalized carbohydrates (30)[94] or alkaloid derivatives (31)[95]. One example from the laboratories of Shi and co-workers is given in Scheme 19. 

Dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) is a mild reagent for epoxidation under neutral conditions of electron-rich as well as of electron-deficient alkenes.Moreover, dimethyldioxirane is often the oxidant of choice for the preparation of labile epoxides. The reagent is prepared by oxidation of acetone with potassium caroate KHSO5 (Oxone) and is stable in acetone solution at —20 °C for several days. ...
