Oxidation Reactions Using Magnesium Monoperphthalate: A Comparison withm-Chloroperoxybenzoic Acid

Abstract
Magnesium monoperphthalate hexahydrate (MMPP), a newly developed reagent with high stability at ambient temperatures, has been shown to oxidise a wide range of substrates under mild conditions: the substrates include alkenes, ketones. sulphides and sulphoxides, pyridine, and dipotassium p-tolylpentafluorosilicate.
