Chemical compound
Dilauroyl peroxide is an organic compound with the formula (C11H23CO2)2. A colorless solid, it is often sold as a water-damped solid. It is the symmetrical peroxide of lauric acid. It is produced by treating lauroyl chloride with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of base:[2]
- 2 C11H23COCl + H2O2 + 2 NaOH → (C11H23CO2)2 + 2 HCl
