The use of topical benzoyl peroxide and antibiotics together is more effective than antibiotics alone. Other options may include salicylic acid, coal tar, benzoyl peroxide, and phototherapy. The use of hydrogen peroxide produces carboxylic acids. Most formulations of tretinoin are incompatible for use with benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide was the first organic peroxide prepared by intentional synthesis. Starts from a solution of hydrogen peroxide with sulfuric acid. The carcinogenic potential of benzoyl peroxide has been investigated. It catalyzes the oxidation of various organic substrates by hydrogen peroxide. Enzymes that use or decompose hydrogen peroxide are classified as peroxidases. Another method is oxidative cleavage of cyclohexene using hydrogen peroxide. Catechol is produced industrially by the hydroxylation of phenol using hydrogen peroxide. Methanol had increased the amount of hydrogen peroxide. Metal complexes are useful catalysts for epoxidations involving hydrogen peroxide and alkyl hydroperoxides. Usually, a solution containing hydrogen peroxide (HO) and hydroxide ions in water is the activator. This experiment shows the catalyzed decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
