Following is the molecular structure of Perbenzoic acid (93-59-4):
Like other peroxyacids, Perbenzoic acid (93-59-4) may be used to generate epoxides, such as styrene oxide from styrene.
Moderately irritating to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes by ingestion and inhalation. Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data by skin contact. A dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame, or reducing materials. A powerful oxidizing agent. Severe explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Violent reaction with olefins. Can react vigorously with reducing materials. Avoid evaporation. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
Peroxybenzoic acid (93-59-4) is a simple peroxy acid. It may be synthesized from benzoic acid and hydrogen peroxide, or by the treatment of benzoyl peroxide with sodium methoxide, followed by acidification.
