Can you peroxidize anything?
Sugar? Furan? Ethyl acetate? Ethylamine? glycerol? 1,3 butadiene? isobutene? Just a long list of things?
It brings up an other interesting question...
Urea and Acetone both have similar structures.
CH3-C-CH3
O
as opposed to
NH2-C-NH2
O

So I was wondering if twere possible to have a urea peroxide similar to acetone peroxide.

no
