A PROCESS FOR FORMING A PERACID AND A COMPOSITION COMPRISING SAID PERACID

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for forming a peracid which comprises the step of reacting in aqueous medium an alpha mono alkylated carboxylic acid and/or an alpha mono alkoxylated carboxylic acid with hydrogen peroxide or a water-soluble source thereof. Further disclosed are compositions comprising an alpha mono alkylated percarboxylic acid and/or alpha mono alkoxylated percarboxylic acid and compositions comprising an alpha mono alkylated carboxylic acid and/or alpha mono alkoxylated carboxylic acid and hydrogen peroxide or a water-soluble source thereof.
