ABSTRACT:
A process for the preparation of a peroxycarboxylic acid of general formula (I), wherein R is an organic residue, in particular a linear or branched alkyled group, an aryl group or an alkyl aryl group each of which is optionally substituted with one or more groups, the process comprising treating a carboxylic acid of the general formula R--COOH, wherein R has the meaning indicated above, with hydrogen peroxide or a precursor thereof in the presence of an enzyme catalyst is described. The enzyme catalyst is preferably a hydrolase, such as a protease or a lipase. Also, a process for the oxidation of organic compounds with the peroxycarboxylic acids thus prepared is described.
