Abstract
Perborate solution in glacial acetic acid generates peracetic acid on aging , and the peracetic acid oxidation of organic sulfides is fast. The oxidati on with fresh solutions of perborate in acetic acid is smooth and is second order, uncatalyzed by acid; hydrogen peroxide is the oxidizing species. Th e oxidation conforms to the Exner and Hammett relations.
