    Epoxy Process
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around finding a catalytic agent that can provide hydroxyl (-OH) or epoxy (-O) functional groups during a chemical process and subsequently reclaim these groups after product formation. Participants mention benzoyl peroxide as a potential initiator that offers an oxygen (-O) functional group, noting its historical use in acne treatments. However, there is some confusion regarding the specific mechanism of how the catalytic agent would provide and then take back these functional groups. Clarification is sought on the exact process and types of catalytic agents that can facilitate this reaction involving -OH or -O groups.

Dear all

Kindly anyone suggest me any Process in which catalytic Agent provides -OH or -O (Epoxy) and then after forming Product takes back -OH or -O. We have to consider only these functional groups -OH or -O.

Thanks in Advance.

I have seen some initiators that contain benzoyl peroxide to provide the O- initiator. Benzoyl peroxide used to be used (still used?) in over-the-counter acne medication when I was a teen-ager.

I don't quite know what you mean by "provide -O... takes back ... -O"
 
Epoxy functional (-O). I need to know a catalytic Agent that can provide hydroxyl or epoxy functional and after forming the product takes back the functional group.
