3-Chloroperoxybenzoic Acid (mCPBA) (CAS: 937-14-4) Method of Analysis:
Instrument: Electronic balance
Reagents and solutions:
Chloroform and acetic acid analytically pure
10% Potassium iodide solution: Take 10g Potassium iodide, add water to dissolve and dilute to 100ml, shake well, and then get.
Sodium thiosulfate titration (0.05mol/L): Take 26g of Sodium thiosulfate and 0.2g of anhydrous Sodium carbonate, add a suitable amount of newly boiled cold purified water, dissolve into 1000ml, shake well, and prepare 0.1mol/L Sodium thiosulfate titration. Leave for 1 month and strain.
The 0.1mol/L Sodium thiosulfate titration prepared before use was diluted with newly boiled cold water to produce 0.05mol/L sodium thiosulfate titrant.
0.5% (g/ml) starch indicator liquid: Take 0.5g of soluble starch, add 5ml of purified water, stir well, slowly pour into 100ml boiling water, add and stir, continue to boil for 2 minutes, cool, pour out the superwhite liquid, and get.
Determination: Take about 50mg of chlorperoxybenzoic acid, weigh it accurately, add 5ml chloroform to dissolve, add 10ml of 10% potassium iodide (sodium) solution and 5ml of acetic acid, and dilute it with 30ml of distilled water. After reaction for 10min, titrate with sodium thiosulfate titration solution (0.05mol/L), drop the brown-red solution (dark red solution) to light brown-yellow. At this time, add 0.5% (g/ml) starch indicator solution 1ml, continue titration until the water layer becomes colorless, that is, the end point. Each 1ml of sodium thiosulfate titrator (0.05mol/L) is equivalent to 4.31mg of C7H5ClO3. The measured content shall not be less than 83.0%. (≥83.0%)
Percentage of 3-Chloroperoxybenzoic Acid (C) is calculated as follows:
C=Vxcx0.00431/mx100%
Where: V - the volume of Sodium thiosulfate titration consumed by the sample, ml;
c - Sodium thiosulfate titration concentration, mol/L;
m - Sample mass, g;
Allowable deviation: The test subject should be measured twice in parallel, and the relative average deviation of the two test results should be no more than 0.3%, and the arithmetic average of the two test results should be taken as the reported result.
Relative average deviation:

3-Chloroperoxybenzoic Acid (mCPBA) (CAS: 937-14-4) is a peroxycarboxylic acid. It is used widely as an oxidant in organic synthesis. mCPBA is often preferred to other peroxy acids because of its relative ease of handling.[1] mCPBA is a strong oxidizing agent that may cause fire upon contact with flammable material. mCPBA can be prepared by reacting m-Chlorobenzoyl chloride with a basic solution of hydrogen peroxide, followed by acidification. It is widely used in cyclization reaction, Baeyer-Villiger reaction, N-oxidation reaction and S-oxidation reaction. It can be used as oxidant for synthetic medicine, pesticide and other fine chemical products, and sometimes as bleaching agent. mCPBA is often preferred to other peroxy acids because of its relative ease of handling.
