Oxidizing agents in organic chemistry

Most oxoacid derivatives of lead are Pb" compounds, though Pb(OAc)4 is well known and is extensively used as a selective oxidizing agent in organic chemistry.It can be obtained as...

Chromium hydroxide or chromium oxide hydrate are formed when chromates are used as oxidizing agents in organic chemistry. These can be calcined to a-Cr203 or directly used as a pigment. Such processes have declined in importance, due to the increasing use of catalytic oxidation in organic chemistry. 

A yellow solid, OSO4, made by heating osmium in air. It is used as an oxidizing agent in organic chemistry, as a catalyst, and as a fixative in electron microscopy.

Lead(IV) oxide can be obtained in a very pure form by the hydrolysis of lead tetra-acetate. In this form it is particularly reactive and useful as an oxidizing agent in organic chemistry. More usually lead(IV) oxide is made by the hypochlorite oxidation of lead(II) acetate solutions, or by the action of nitric acid upon Pb304. 

It is very extensively used as a selective oxidizing agent in organic chemistry. 

Hydrogen peroxide is frequently used as an oxidizing agent in organic chemistry. One application is for the oxidation of thioethers to sulfoxides. For example, methyl phenyl sulfide was oxidized to methyl phenyl sulfoxide in 99% yield in methanol in 18 hours (or 20 minutes using a TiCls catalyst) ...
