3-Chloroperbenzoic Acid

3-Chloroperbenzoic Acid (3-CPBA) is an aromatic organic compound from the benzoic acid family, supplied by Actylis as a thermolabile white solid that decomposes in the presence of heat. It is a powerful oxidizing agent used in the synthesis of medicines and pesticides, particularly for converting aldehydes and ketones into esters. Additionally, it serves as a bleaching agent in certain bleach products. In the biochemical industry, 3-Chloroperbenzoic Acid demonstrates notable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making it valuable across pharmaceutical, pesticide, and biochemical applications.
