Application

Hydrogen peroxide 30% can be used as an oxidizing agent:

• To synthesize 5-bromo-2-nitropyridine from 5-bromo-2-aminopyridine in the presence of H2SO4.[1]
• For the oxidation of aromatic and aliphatic sulfides to sulfoxides or sulfones.[2]
• For the epoxidation of terminal olefins using a mixture of Na2WO4 dihydrate, (aminomethyl)phosphonic acid, and methyltrin-octylammonium hydrogensulfate.[3]
• To prepare adipic acid via oxidation of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol in the presence of H2WO4 as a catalyst.[4]
• To convert cyclopentanone to δ-valerolactone via Baeyer−Villiger-oxidation in the presence of a solid acid catalyst.[5]
