Magnesium Monoperoxyphthalate Hexahydrate ( MMPP ) (MMPP)

CAS84665-66-7

Magnesium monoperoxyphthalate hexahydrate (MMPP, CAS 84665-66-7) is a water-soluble peroxy acid salt used as an oxidant in organic synthesis. It carries out Baeyer-Villiger oxidations, alkene epoxidations and sulfide oxidations, and is regarded as safer to handle than m-CPBA. It is also used as the active ingredient in surface disinfectants. KingPharm supplies MMPP for research and production with a batch-specific certificate of analysis.

Product Description

Magnesium monoperoxyphthalate hexahydrate (MMPP) is the magnesium salt of monoperoxyphthalic acid, supplied as a white to off-white solid. It is soluble in water and polar solvents such as methanol, but poorly soluble in non-polar solvents.

As a peroxy acid, MMPP transfers an electrophilic oxygen atom to the substrate. This enables the conversion of ketones to esters or lactones (Baeyer-Villiger oxidation), alkenes to epoxides (Prilezhaev reaction), sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones, and amines to amine oxides; it is also used for the oxidative cleavage of hydrazones.

Compared with m-CPBA, MMPP is less prone to explosive decomposition, more stable in storage and lower in production cost. Its phthalate by-product is water-soluble, which simplifies aqueous workup. The main limitation is poor solubility in non-polar media, so reactions are usually run in water, alcohols or biphasic systems.

For procurement, buyers typically check assay (active oxygen content), appearance and water content against the specification, since commercial grades range from technical to high purity. MMPP is classified as an organic peroxide (storage class 5.2), which should be considered for packaging, transport and storage. KingPharm provides specification and COA with each batch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does MMPP compare with m-CPBA?

MMPP performs similar oxidations but is less prone to explosive decomposition, more stable in storage and gives a water-soluble by-product. m-CPBA remains preferable when the reaction must be run in non-polar solvents such as dichloromethane, where MMPP dissolves poorly.

Which solvents are suitable for MMPP oxidations?

MMPP is typically used in water, methanol, ethanol or biphasic systems with a phase-transfer catalyst. After the reaction, the magnesium phthalate by-product is removed by aqueous washing.

How should MMPP be stored?

MMPP is an organic peroxide that decomposes at about 93 °C. Keep it in a tightly sealed container in a dry place at room temperature, away from heat, reducing agents and combustible materials.
