General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product MMPP is an alternative to widely used oxidant MCPBA as it is cheap, stable in the solid state, safer in handling and easier to use and thus aligns with the principle "Designing Safer Chemicals". For more information see the below articles.
Magnesium bis(monoperoxyphthalate) hexahydrate as mild and efficient oxidant for the synthesis of selenones.
Magnesium Bis(monoperoxyphthalate) Hexahydrate (MMPP).
Highly efficient epoxidation of unsaturated steroids using magnesium bis(monoperoxyphthalate) hexahydrate.

Application

A safer, greener oxidizing reagent that is a suitable replacement for peroxycarboxylic acids and is capable of effecting many types of oxidation reactions.

Oxidation Reactions Using Magnesium Monoperphthalate: A Comparison with m-Chloroperoxybenzoic Acid
Reagent for:
  • Trans-diaxial hydroxylation under bismuth(III) triflate catalyst
  • Oxidation rections under mild conditions
  • Epoxidation of unsaturated steroids
  • Synthesis of ring-B oxygenated steroids as anticancer agents
