In certain embodiments, surfactant dioxiranes (e.g., BACKGROUND where the EWG is ionic or non-ionic, the SG is relatively 25 large and hydrophobic, e.g., Ca-C alkyl) provide highly effective oxidants, e.g., for hydrophobic contaminants in The following description is provided to assist the under washwater.

Other oxidants, such as hydrogen peroxide, are ineffective at low (i.e., safe) con 35 centrations.

X A particularly strong class of oxidants, the peroxymono SG SG sulfate (POMS) salts, such as OxoneR), suffer from the above indicated drawbacks, but can be reacted with ketones to create the relatively selective dioxirane oxidants. Dioxiranes react with a variety of organic Substrates, e.g., by inserting oxygen 45 atoms into carbon-carbon double bonds, which provides a bleaching action and makes the oxidized substrate more Further, both the surfactant and ionic liquid dioxiranes are water-soluble and Susceptible to rinsing. Despite these prac optionally configured as chiral oxidants by selecting a chiral SG or EWG. Their specificity makes them useful in selective tical attributes, dioxiranes have found limited Success as chemical oxidations. The new compounds are useful for agents for cleaning, disinfection, and decontamination.
