Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide is synthesized by reacting hydrogen and oxygen in a two phase mixture of water and an organic. The mixture contains a catalyst which is insoluble in water but dissolves in the organic. The hydrogen peroxide is extracted in the water. The catalyst is L.sub.2 MX.sub.2 where: L is a ligand containing a Group 5b element (preferably phosphorous); M is a Group 8 metal (preferably palladium); and X is a halogen (preferably chlorine).
