Pyridinium fluorochromate

Pyridinium fluorochromate oxidizes cycloalkanones to the corresponding 1,2-diketones. " The kinetics have been studied in aqueous acetic-perchloric acid mixtures relative reactivities are explained in terms of conformational and steric... 

Correlation of structure and reactivity in the oxidation of substituted aromatic anils by pyridinium fluorochromate (PFC) has been attempted using Grunwald-Winstein and Hammett equations. The stoichiometry between the substrate and oxidant is 1 2 in the oxidation of cyclic ketones by PFC to 1,2-diketones. PFC oxidation of secondary alcohols has been investigated. ... 

The oxidation of substituted benzaldehydes to substituted benzoic acids by pyridinium fluorochromate (PFC) has been studied, and it has been found that the reaction is first order with respect to pyridinium fluorochromate but is of complicated order with respect to the aldehyde. The following scenario was proposed to account for this behavior ...

Kinetics and activation parameters for the oxidation of phenol with tetrakis(pyridine) cobalt(II) chromate have been determined.16 The oxidation of oximes of cyclopen-tanone, cyclohexanone, and cycloheptanone with pyridinium fluorochromate is first order each in the oxidant and oxime. The observed reactivity sequence has been rationalized on the basis of I-strain.17... 

Oxidation of several primary aliphatic alcohols with potassium dichromate, pyri-dinium dichromate, quinolinium dichromate (QDC), imidazolium dichromate, nico-tinium dichromate, isonicotinium dichromate, pyridinium fluorochromate (PFC), quinolinium fluorochromate, imidazolium fluorochromate, pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC), quinolinium chlorochromate (QCC), and pyridinium bromochromate (PBC), in aqueous acetic acid and in the presence of perchloric acid, showed similar kinetics. The values of the reaction constants did not differ significantly, indicating operation of a common mechanism.1... 

Pyridinium fluorochromate is a stable solid, which can be stored for long periods." h is as reactive as PCC, but slightly less acidic (pH of a 0.01 M solution = 2.4S compared to 1.7S for PCQ, and thus substrates with acid labile groups can be oxidized without the need to add a buffer." With 1.S equiv. of oxidant in dichloromethane at room temperature, primary and secondary alcohols are oxidized to aldehydes and ketones in high yield (Table 9). Unfortunately, ( )/(Z)-isomerization has been observed during the oxidation of allylic alcohols." ... 

Allylic oxidation. Steroidal 5-en-7-ones are produced in good yields (6 examples. 86-88%) from A -steroids on heating with pyridinium fluorochromate with molecular sieves in refluxing benzene. 

Secondary alcohols are oxidized by H5IO6 in the presence of various chromium catalysts to ketones [1321-1325], while primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or to carboxylic acids depending on the catalyst. Primary alcohols in the presence of pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC)[1322] or chromium (III) acetylacetonate, Cr(acac)3 [1321] are oxidized to aldehydes or ketones in excellent yields, while the use of CrOj [1326,1327] or pyridinium fluorochromate [1323] as catalysts results in the oxidation to carboxylic acids. The periodic acid promoted oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to carbonyl compounds can also be catalyzed by Cu(II) derivatives [1328,1329], by bromide anion [1330] and by TEMPO [1331].
