peroksihapon
Peroksihappo, or peracid in English, refers to a class of organic compounds that contain a peroxide group attached to an acyl group, generally written as R-CO-O-O-H. They are powerful oxidizing agents and electrophilic oxygen donors, used to drive selective oxidation reactions in organic synthesis and, in some cases, for disinfection and sterilization.
Most peracids are prepared by reacting a carboxylic acid with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an
In synthesis, peracids offer several utility paths: Baeyer–Villiger oxidation to convert ketones into esters or lactones,
Industrial and practical uses include the application of certain peracids, notably peracetic acid, as sanitizers and
Safety and handling are important considerations: peracids are strong oxidizers and can be unstable, especially when
