Dilauroyl peroxide is an organic compound with the formula (C₁₁H₂₃CO₂)₂. A colorless solid, it is often sold as a water-damped solid. It is the symmetrical peroxide of lauric acid. It is produced by treating lauroyl chloride with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of base:^[2]

2 C₁₁H₂₃COCl + H₂O₂ + 2 NaOH → (C₁₁H₂₃CO₂)₂ + 2 HCl
