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. |
