Hydrogen peroxide urea adduct, UHP

Urea-hydrogen peroxide is a non-toxic, odorless crystalline solid. This adduct, which contains 35% of H₂O₂, sets the hydrogen peroxide free during its application.

Urea-hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalytic amount of magnesium bromide efficiently oxidizes primary and secondary benzylic alcohols into the corresponding aromatic aldehydes and ketones.
