3-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

White moist powder

Uses

3-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid is a strong oxidizing agent used in the oxidation reactions such as aldehydes and ketones to esters (Bayer-Villiger-Oxidation), olefines to epoxides, sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones, and amines to nitroalkanes, N-oxides.

Reactions

3-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA) is one of the most popular oxidation reagent in organic synthesis, because of its outstanding performance in terms of:
reactivity, combined with reducing the number of reaction steps in classical synthetic routes,
regio- and stereoselectivity,
protection of functional groups mostly not required,
high purity and yields.
Its literature covers a huge area of different syntheses and below reaction equations just can be a brief overview of its interesting applications:
3-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid Reactions

General Description

3-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid is sensitive to heat. Storage of 3-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid must be done so with stringent temperature control measures. It's explosion hazard is also mitigated by mixing the peroxide in a solvent slurry.

Reactivity Profile

May explode from heat, shock, friction or contamination. May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames.

Purification Methods

Recrystallise MCPBA from CH2Cl2 [Traylor & Mikztal J Am Chem Soc 109 2770 1987]. Peracid of 99+% purity can be obtained by washing commercial 85% material with phosphate buffer pH 7.5 and drying the residue under reduced pressure. Alternatively the peracid can be freed from m-chlorobenzoic acid by dissolving 50g/L of *benzene and washing with an aqueous solution buffered at pH 7.4 (NaH2PO4/NaOH) (5 x 100mL). The organic layer is dried over MgSO4 and carefully evaporated under vacuum. Necessary care should be taken in case of EXPLOSION. The solid is recrystallised twice from CH2Cl2/Et2O and stored at 0o in a plastic container as glass catalyses the decomposition of the peracid. The acid is assayed iodometrically.
