Ring to quinones

Sodium dichromate hydroxylates tertiary carbons [620] and oxidizes methylene groups to carbonyls [622, 623, 625, 626, 631] methyl and methylene groups, especially as side chains in aromatic compounds, to carboxylic groups [624, 632, 633, 634, 635] and benzene rings to quinones [630, 636, 637] or carboxylic acids [638]. The reagent is often used for the conversion of primary alcohols into aldehydes [629, 630, 639] or, less frequently, into carboxylic acids or their esters [640] of secondary alcohols into ketones [621, 629, 630, 641, 642, 643, 644] of phenylhydroxylamine into nitroso-benzene [645] and of alkylboranes into carbonyl compounds [646]. [Pg.24]

Potassium dichromate, K2Cr207, is applied under similar conditions as its sodium analogue to oxidize benzene rings to quinones [647, 648, 649, 650], methylene groups adjacent to aromatic rings to carbonyls [514], primary alcohols to aldehydes [651, 652, 653], secondary alcohols to ketones [644, 652, 654, 655], and aldehydes to acids [656]. Phenylhydroxylamine is transformed into nitrosobenzene [657], and an aromatic nitroso compound, into a nitro compound [655]. [Pg.24]

Sodium hypochlorite is used for the epoxidation of double bonds [659, 691] for the oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes [692], of secondary alcohols to ketones [693], and of primary amines to carbonyl compounds [692] for the conversion of benzylic halides into acids or ketones [690] for the oxidation of aromatic rings to quinones [694] and of sulfides to sulfones [695] and, especially, for the degradation of methyl ketones to carboxylic acids with one less carbon atom [655, 696, 697, 695, 699] and of a-amino acids to aldehydes with one less carbon [700]. Sodium hypochlorite is also used for the reoxidation of low-valence ruthenium compounds to ruthenium tetroxide in oxidations by ruthenium trichloride [701]. [Pg.27]
