Introduction
3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) is an organic peroxide. m-CPBA is a white crystalline solid with a pungent odor at room temperature.The most important use of m-CPBA is as an oxidant in organic synthesis. It can oxidize unsaturated compounds to their corresponding carbonyl compounds. m-CPBA can also be used in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds and oxidation reactions in other organic reactions.The preparation of m-CPBA can be obtained by chlorination of benzoic acid peroxide. The general reaction conditions are at room temperature, benzoic acid peroxide and chlorine are added to the acetic acid solution for reaction, and the crystallization of m-CPBA is obtained.m-CPBA is a highly oxidizing compound that can cause fire and explosion, and its contact and mixing with combustible substances should be strictly controlled. m-CPBA is also irritating and should be avoided in contact with skin and eyes, and be sure to operate in a well-ventilated environment. Read the relevant safety instructions carefully and wear appropriate personal protective equipment before use. Proper operating procedures and safety standards should be followed when using m-CPBA in chemical laboratories.
