Caros Acid

RIPPER - 25-9-2004 at 03:28

Are Caros Acid (H2SO4 + H2O2) a good oxidizer for a amino group ?
When the starting material dissolved in concentrated H2SO4
an than added the H2O2.
I have idea to make high percent H2O2, when the
normal H2O2 dissolved in acetic anhydride and than
added dropvise to the mix ?

:cool::mad:

Yes, Caros acid is a good oxidizer for the amino group, as a matter of fact it can be used for the conversion of pentanitroanaline to hexanitrobenzene.

Reaction of H2O2 and acetic anhydride can give peracetic acid, which is nasty and acetyl peroxide which is worse.
Adding this to sulphuric acid and an organic reducing agent isn't a reaction I would want to do.

Isn't H2SO4+H2O2 known as "piranha solution" for its ability to chew away organics? Including flesh?

high nitrated

Are high nitrated nitro anillines (phenols, anisols) not instable and high water soluble ?

anilline

I believe Trinitroaniline is a real makeable
energetic material.

Just made "pirahna acid" and it rightfully deserves that name! I mixed excess h2so4 with 30% h2o2, and palced a small amoutn (like 5 ml) on this 1/8th thick opeice of cardboard...stuff ate right through it like 5 seconds. Everything began to smoke and smell of SOx im guessing... cool stuff. I'd be careful with it though as I don't want to what it'd do the the flesh.... It's a claerish liquid with a pinkish tint maybe.
