Various aromatic, aliphatic and conjugated alcohols were transformed into the corresponding carboxylic acids and ketones in good yields with aq 70% t-BuOOH in the presence of catalytic amounts of bismuth(III) oxide. This method possesses does not involve cumbersome work-up, exhibits ...
The use of tert-butyl nitrite as the co-catalyst in a 2-azaadamantane-N-oxyl(AZADO)- and 9-azanoradamantane-N-oxyl(nor-AZADO)-catalyzed efficient aerobic oxidation of primary alcohols in MeCN instead of the previously reported AcOH provides the corresponding aldehydes selectively. The addition ...
The reaction of tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB) and ammonia/amines provides the corresponding primary, secondary, and tertiary amides under catalyst- and solvent-free conditions in excellent yields. TBPB is an efficient and highly chemoselective benzoylating reagent for aliphatic amines in the ...
Chloramine-T is a source of electrophilic chlorine. In water, chloramine-T is decomposed to yield hypochlorite, which acts as a disinfectant, and the sulfonamide moiety, which inhibits bacterial grow due to the similarity with para-aminobenzoic acid (a bacterial metabolite). Chloramine-T can ...
A facile synthesis of aryl carboxylic acids from aryl ketones by aerobic photooxidation using the inexpensive and easily handled CBr4 as catalyst is applicable to inert compounds under usual photo-irradiation conditions, and appears very attractive for the expansion of the Norrish Type I reaction.
Cerium (IV) ammonium nitrate ((NH4)2Ce(NO3)6) is a one-electron oxidizing agent that is used for oxidative addition reactions of electrophilic radicals to alkenes, enabling intermolecular and intramolecular carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond formation. CAN also oxidizes secondary alcohols ...
The use of chloramine-B as the oxidant and KI or NaBr as the halogen source enables a direct oxidative halogenation of terminal alkynes to provide synthetically valuable 1-iodoalkynes and 1-bromoalkynes in very good yields under mild reaction conditions.
Chromium (VI) compounds pose a significant health risk due to their high toxicity, both acutely and chronically, with the potential to cause cancer. In contrast, chromium (III) is vital for human health and exhibits moderate toxicity. When handling chromium (VI) reagents, such as PDC, in their ...
