Abstract: SnCl4·5H2Oand SnCl2·2H2O are the efficient catalysts for the oxidation of acetone with 30% hydrogen peroxide at room temperature to tetrametric acetone peroxide which is identified by molecular determination, elemental analysis, FT-IR, NMR, and MS. The catalytic activity of SnCl4·5H2O and SnCl2·2H2O is much higher than that of HCl. In the case of SnCl4·5H2O, the maximum yield of tetrametric acetone peroxide reaches 95.0%. The results show that the active species of catalytic reaction may be Sn4+.

Key words: Acetone, Hydrogen peroxide, SnCl4·5H2O, Catalytic oxidation, Macrocyclo peroxide
