3-Chloroperbenzoic acid (Cat No.: R051421) is an organic peracid with the molecular formula C₇H₅ClO₃. It is commonly used as a strong oxidizing agent in organic synthesis, particularly for epoxidation of alkenes, Baeyer–Villiger oxidations, and oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides or sulfones. The presence of a chlorine atom at the meta (3-) position enhances its stability compared to other peracids. mCPBA is a versatile reagent prized for its efficiency, selectivity, and compatibility with a wide range of functional groups in complex molecules.
