Organic Redox Reaction - Organic Oxidations

Organic Oxidations

Several reaction mechanisms exist for organic oxidations:

  • Single electron transfer
  • Oxidations through ester intermediates with chromic acid or manganese dioxide
  • Hydrogen atom transfer as in Free radical halogenation
  • Oxidation with oxygen (combustion)
  • Oxidation involving ozone in ozonolysis and peroxides
  • Oxidations involving an elimination reaction mechanism such as the Swern oxidation, the Kornblum oxidation and with reagents such as IBX acid and Dess-Martin periodinane.
  • oxidation by nitroxide radicals Fremy's salt or TEMPO

Famous quotes containing the word organic:

    The human face is the organic seat of beauty.... It is the register of value in development, a record of Experience, whose legitimate office is to perfect the life, a legible language to those who will study it, of the majestic mistress, the soul.
    Eliza Farnham (1815–1864)
