Novel organic peroxygen reagents for use in organic synthesis

Magnesium bis(monoperoxyphthalate) hexahydrate as mild and efficient oxidant for the synthesis of selenones

“…Magnesium bis(monoperoxyphthalate) hexahydrate is a cheap commercially available, relatively stable and easy to use oxidant and it has been employed for the selective oxidation of sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides, for the preparation of α-methylenecyclohexane [ 16 ] and glycosyl sulfoxides [ 17 ]. Compared to the widely used peroxy acid MCPBA, MMPP has similar chemical properties, but it is a halogen-free reagent and it is considered safer to use in both small- and large-scale reactions [ 18 ]. The only disadvantage of MMPP is its poor solubility in non-polar solvents such as dichloromethane.…”

La<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Catalyzed Oxidation of Alcohols

“…Excellent catalytic methods using metals have been developed using oxidation reactions. Interesting methodologies for metal mediated transformation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids have been reported recently [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. The catalytic oxidation of alcohols employing transition metals such as Ru, Co, Mo, Pd, V and W have been reported [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39].…”

Direct Iodination of Aromatic Compounds with Polyvinylpyrrolidone Supported Hydrogen Peroxide (PVP-H2O2) and Potassium Iodide or Molecular Iodine

“…One solution is that we use safer forms of peroxides such as supported ones at heterogeneous conditions. Two complexes of H 2 O 2 with urea (UHP) and DABCO-di-N-oxide are known reagents 28 but they have some limitations including selection of the solvent for conducting reaction at heterogeneous conditions. Preparation of polymer complexes of hydrogen peroxide was also reported 29 but we could not find any synthetic use in the literature.…”
