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:
“And what if all of animated nature
Be but organic Harps diversely framed,
That tremble into thought, as o’er them sweeps
Plastic and vast, one intellectual breeze,
At once the Soul of each, and God of all?”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
