Silver(III) Periodate Complex—An Oxidant for Free Radical Induced Uncatalyzed and Ruthenium(III) Catalyzed Oxidation of Barbituric Acid

An efficient mixed micellar strategy for the catalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol by diperiodatoargentate(iii) in aqueous media

“…Ag(III) often appears as the soluble periodate complex, [Ag(H 3 IO 6 ) 2 ] À in an aqueous medium with a reduction potential value of 1.74 V. 33 Rao and Nandibewoor have explored Ag(III) as a potential oxidising agent in the oxidation of numerous a Surfactant Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Chemistry, The University of organic substrates, such as theophylline, barbituric acid and pyrimidine. 34,35 The oxidising properties of Ag(III) have also been used for a variety of sugars, including glucose and galactose 36 as well as some carboxylic acids such as aspirin. 37 It is worth mentioning that silver ions have tremendous applications in a variety of medicinal fields, including in catheters, dental work, and the curing of burn wounds because of their remarkable antibacterial activity.…”
