This oxidizing system proceeds under extremely mild conditions and gives no other oxidized side products. %K supported hydrogen peroxide on polyvinylpolypyrrolidone %K potassium iodide (KI) %K silica sulfuric acid (SiO2-OSO3H) %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0352-5139/2013/0352-51391200054G.pdf
