Abstract

11 12 oxidize alcohols that have low water solubility. The problems associated with all of these standard oxidizing reagents underscores the need for further development of convenient and reliable oxidizing agents. Interest in this laboratory in dicarbonyl sugar chemistry often requires that a second carbonyl function be generated on a monosaccharide through a suitably protected aldo-hexose. Of particular recent interest is the oxidation of ...
