Abstract
A high yield ( ca. 90%) of perbenzoic acid has been obtained in the alkaline perhydrolysis of benzoyl peroxide by suppressing the decomposition of the peracid with excess alkali and a little magnesium sulfate in aqueous organic solvents. This perhydrolysis method has been applied to other substrates, e.g. benzoyl chloride, phthalic anhydride and acetyl chloride giving 85–90% yields. The perhydrolysis of benzoyl chloride has been shown to proceed, partially at least, through the intermediary formation of benzoyl peroxide.
