Sep 1, 2014 at 14:45 comment added HJRW @YCor, this is true, but the question isn't stated as a question there. It would be better to post a new answer here (possibly with a reference to question 95692) that can then be accepted.

Sep 1, 2014 at 12:01 comment added YCor the question is already answered in mathoverflow.net/questions/95692/non-commutator-in-simple-group
Sep 1, 2014 at 11:37 comment added HJRW @NAME_IN_CAPS - why don't you post this as an answer?

Sep 1, 2014 at 10:32 comment added NAME_IN_CAPS bourbaki.ens.fr/TEXTES/1069.pdf Computer calculations show that the smallest example of a perfect group not all of whose elements are commutators is an extension of an elementary abelian group of order $2^4$ with the alternating group $A_5$ .
Sep 1, 2014 at 10:31 comment added user114539 I am asking for finite perfect groups. But i would like to know about infinite perfect groups too. Thanks
Sep 1, 2014 at 10:21 comment added André Henriques (1) For those who don't know what Ore's conjecture is: it says that every element of a finite non-abelian simple group is a commutator. (2) Dear user: are you asking about infinte perfect groups, or about finite perfect groups?
