Peroxy compounds, particularly for use in bleaching colored stains when washing textiles or cleaning hard surfaces, are activated very effectively using compounds of general formula (I), wherein R is hydrogen, an aryl, alkyl, alkenyl or cycloalkyl radical with 1 to 17 C atoms, A and B independently of each other are hydrogen, an aryl, alkyl, alkenyl or cycloalkyl group with 1 to 17 C atoms, and X is an aryl, alkyl, alkenyl or cycloalkyl group with 1 to 17 C atoms, where at least one of the A, B and X groups is substituted with at least one hydrophilic group selected from -SO3H, -OSO3H, -PO(OH)2, -OPO(OH)2, -CO2H and their -N<+>R<1>R<2>R<3>Y<->, wherein R<1>, R<2> and R<3> independently of one another are hydrogen, an aryl, alkyl, alkenyl or cycloalkyl group with 1 to 17 C atoms and Y<-> is a charge-balancing anion. |
