Cover Feature: Persulfate Reaction in a Hair-Bleaching Formula: Unveiling the Unconventional Reactivity of 1,13-Diamino-4,7,10-Trioxatridecane (ChemistryOpen 5/2018)

The Cover Feature shows a persulfate reaction occurring under the conditions of a cosmetic hair bleaching procedure, applied worldwide to lighten hair. 1,13‐diamino‐4,7,10‐trioxatridecane is an ingredient marketed to hair salons and consumers for a so‐called “plex” service. In a model bleach it partially reacts and forms an unexpected azanyl ester whose occurrence is considered relevant for the toxicological assessment.
