Oxidative Procedures to Carboxylic Acids

Many of the oxidants employed to prepare aldehydes from primary alcohols may be used to further oxidize the aldehyde initially formed to the corresponding carboxylic acid. The most common oxidants for this purpose include KMn04, chromic acid, sodium chlorite,silver oxide, and PDC in DMF. ° [Pg.98]

The oxidation of allylic alcohols directly to methyl carboxylates has been reported using MnOj and sodium cyanide in methanol. [Pg.98]

Aldehydes dissolved in alcohols react with 1 to 2 equivalents of aqueous NaOCP or Oxone (a potassium triple-salt that contains potassium peroxymonosulfate, KHSOg) to furnish the corresponding esters. [Pg.98]
