Abstract

Oxidation of benzoins and benzils to benzoic acids has been accomplished by using various oxidizing agents. Some of the oxidants used in such transformation are hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid, 1 calcium hypochlorite, 2 (diacetoxyiodo)benzene, 3 chromyl trifluoroacetate, 4 sodium percarbonate, 5 electrogenerated periodate, 6 potassium iodide/sodium cyanide in methanol, 7 potassium peroxymonosulfate, 8 air/hypervalent iodine(V) in water, 9 sodium ...
