Anyone have ideas for a suitable solvent to use to make H2O2 solutions without water?Adas - 26-7-2012 at 12:24
Acetone Just kidding. Try using ethanol.gutter_ca - 26-7-2012 at 13:25
I should have said, I need something a bit higher-boiling.DJF90 - 26-7-2012 at 13:29
I recall something about evaporation of a 30% solution under reduced pressure and 40 or 50*C to afford a residue that consists of 98% H2O2. Perhaps in
Inorganic Syntheses?gutter_ca - 26-7-2012 at 13:34
The 98% I have; I'd like to be able to make a lower concentration solution in a solvent other than water, and relatively high boiling.DJF90 - 26-7-2012 at 13:39
Sorry, you didn't specify this. In either case, 98% concentration is prepared as per Brauer.
As for the non-aqueous peroxide, have you considered tBuOOH?
EDIT: Sorry again, should have checked bp (=35*C) before commenting
Why do you need it higher boiling? What is your intended use?

Yeah I basically fucked this all up. I'd like to make a non-aqueous solution of H2O2, not a non-aqueous peroxide.
Yes, the 98% was produced per Brauer.walterWhite - 11-8-2012 at 10:37
I am doing an experiment that calls for 58 g of a 35% hydrogen peroxide solution. I already have 17.5 % hydrogen peroxide, so my question is, can I
use the 17.5 % instead of the 35% but just use a greater amount, and if so what amount? gutter_ca - 11-8-2012 at 11:15
Really dependant on the experiment. Will the additional water affect your rection?walterWhite - 11-8-2012 at 11:22
It will not have any affect on the reaction. gutter_ca - 11-8-2012 at 11:38
Well, then I think you answered your own question.walterWhite - 11-8-2012 at 11:53
So if the extra water will be eventually filtered out of the final product, then I can just use twice the amount of 17.5% ?
