Abstract

Stable, solid acetyl peroxyborate compounds which are active oxygen-containing compounds derived from acetic acid and boron-oxygen compounds. The compounds of the invention have a peracetic acid content which can be liberated instantly and directly in water with only minor formation of hydrogen peroxide The acetyl peroxyborates of the invention are useful in washing, bleaching and cleaning agent and disinfectant applications and as oxidizing agents in organic synthesis.
