e is used in countless processes including the manufacture of Pyrethroid i
nsecticides and Pyroxasulfone herbicides. Hydrogen peroxide is used as an
aqueous solution as the pure compound is dangerous to handle\, but many or
ganic substrates are not water soluble and/or water compatible. Even when

Hydrogen peroxide is att
ractive as a green oxidant: it is the most atom efficient and contrasts wi
th common oxidants such as chromates (toxic and wasteful)\, nitric acid\,
and peracids (explosive and wasteful). Organic oxidations are the most imp
ortant chemical transformations and hydrogen peroxide is used in countless
processes including the manufacture of Pyrethroid insecticides and Pyroxasulfone herbicides. Hydrogen peroxide is used as
an aqueous solution as the pure compound is dangerous to handle\, but man
y organic substrates are not water soluble and/or water compatible. Even w
hen the substrate is not sensitive to water\, applications are normally bi
phasic with a water-immiscible solvent (e.g. chlorinated solvent) being us
ed to dissolve the substrate and a phase transfer catalyst needed to facil
itate the biphasic reaction.
