Oxidations Using Nitrate and Periodate as Redox Catalysts

9 Oxidations Using Nitrate and Periodate as Redox Catalysts 

Indirect electrochemical oxidations using the nitrate ion as redox catalyst proceed via the electro-generated NOj radical. They are useful for the oxidation of secondary alcohols and of alkyl aromatic compounds in the side-chain 

Periodate regeneration was technically applied for the synthesis of dialdehyde starch from starch (Table 4, No. 64) and recently for the generation of acetaldehyde from 2,3-butanediol (Table 4, No. 65)
