Abstract
A process is described for the preparation of hydrogen peroxide by the reaction of carbon monoxide, oxygen and water in an organic solvent immiscible with water, in the presence of a catalytic complex soluble in the organic solvent, deriving from the combination of a palladium salt, a non-coordinating organic or inorganic acid and a ligand capable of binding itself to the palladium atom, characterized in that said ligand is a mono or polydentate nitrogenated compound.

A process for the production of hydrogen peroxide which comprises reacting carbon monoxide, oxygen and water in an organic solvent immiscible with water, and in the presence of a catalytic complex soluble in the organic solvent which catalytic complex is the combination of:
- (a) a salt of palladium;
- (b) a non-coordinating organic or inorganic acid;
- and
- (c) a ligand which is a compound capable of binding itself to the palladium atom, which ligand is a mono or polydentate nitrogenated compound.
