[reaction: see text] A highly efficient, mild, and simple protocol is presented for the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids utilizing Oxone as the sole oxidant. Direct conversion of aldehydes in alcoholic solvents to their corresponding ester products is also reported. These reactions may prove to be valuable alternatives to traditional metal-mediated oxidations.

Hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs) are one of the most ubiquitous and most easily detected organochlorine pesticides in environmental samples. This global distribution is enabled by HCH persistence. Moreover, HCH tend to bioaccumulate in human and animal adipose tissue. Since certain HCHs cause central nervous system, reproductive, and other endocrine damage there is necessity of a suitable r...

Potassium monopersulfate has been decomposed in aqueous solution in the presence of Co(II). The process has been simulated by means of a mechanism based on elementary reactions. Rate constants have been taken from literature reports or, alternatively, assimilated to analogous reactions occurring in Fenton ́s chemistry. Several operating conditions have been successfully applied. Keywords—Monoper...

Binaphthol-derived chiral ketones 1a-c were synthesized and were shown to serve as active catalysts for asymmetric epoxidation of olefins using Oxone®, although their enantioselectivities were not high. However, very interestingly, the stereochemical outcome of the resulting epoxides implicates that in the epoxidation using 1ac, the planar transition state may be more favorable than the spiro t...

A straightforward synthesis of diaryliodonium salts is achieved by using Oxone as the stoichiometric oxidant. Slow addition is the key to obtaining good yields and purities of the reaction products, which are highly useful reagents in many different areas of organic synthesis.

A novel and efficient method for the oxidation of 2-arylindoles to synthesize 2-arylbenzoxazinones utilizing oxone as the sole oxidant has been developed. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups and allows quick and atom-economical assembly of a variety of valuable 2-arylbenzoxazinones in high yields.

Sulfur-containing CWA simulants of yperite (CEES) and VX (PhX) are neutralized with Oxone, in solid or liquid form, flow systems.

Oxidation of alcohols in the presence of a catalytic amount of fluorous IBX and Oxone as a co-oxidant resulted in the corresponding carbonyl compounds in good to high yields. The fluorous IBX is readily recovered as insoluble fluorous IBA from the reaction mixture by simple filtration, and can be reused without significant loss of the catalytic activity.

A new metal-free protocol is described for the synthesis of terminal acetals by tandem oxidative rearrangement of olefins using oxone as an oxidant in the presence of iodine. Moreover, a one-pot procedure for the preparation of glycol mono esters from olefins is also presented for the first time using the same reagent system.
