Hi, I synthesized peroxyacid according to above link.

Also I checked that it was successfully synthesized.

However, I've wondered why those reagents were used and their role.

I searched a lot but just some information was found such as dioxane was used for stabilizing peroxyacid (?), NaOH for deprotonation of normal acid.

Then, what is the role of MgSO4 and H2SO4 (acidify?)?

I'll wait your answers.

Thank you!
