Boyland-Sims Oxidation
General Characteristics Anilines can be converted into aminophenols by the reaction called the Boyland-Sims oxidation. Ortho-hydroxylated products are usually obtained preferentially. The oxidation ...
Synthesis of N-Oxide
General Characteristics Amines are susceptible to oxidation. Tertiary amines are oxidized to give N-oxides. Secondary amines having proton(s) at the α-position are oxidized to nitrones. The ...
Singlet Oxygen
Characteristics Since molecular oxygen exists in a triplet ground state (3O2),the spin conservation rule restricts its transforma- tions to radical-type reactions, which are normally quite ...
C-H Oxidation with NHPI Catalyst
Characteristics N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) and related compounds have been revealed to be efficient organocatalysts for free-radical processes and have found ample application in promoting the ...
Corey-Gilman-Ganem Oxidation
Characteristics The Corey-Gilman-Ganem oxidation transforms benzylic or α,β-unsaturated aldehydes into the corresponding methyl esters. The aldehydes can be selectively oxidized to esters in presence ...
