Activation of Molecular Oxygen into Hydrogen Peroxide via α-Azobenzyl Hydroperoxide. A Generation of Hydrogen Peroxide from Organic Hydroperoxide by the Amine-base Catalyzed Reaction

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1988.1751

Hydrogen peroxide is generated together with nitrile imine from α-azobenzyl hydroperoxide, which is formed readily by autooxidation of arylaldehyde hydrazone, via peroxycarboximidic acid by the amine-base catalyzed reaction in benzene.This provides a new type of activation reaction of molecular oxygen into hydrogen peroxide by aldehyde hydrazone.
