Abstract

Oxone is a cheap, safe, stable, and easily handled oxidizing reagent that has found widespread use in organic synthesis.15 The most impressive use of Oxone is in the efficient preparation of dimethyldioxirane (DMDO), which can epoxidize olefins readily.16 Oxone is also well known for its oxidation of boron-,17 nitrogen-,18 phosphorus-,19 sulfur-20 and selenium-containing21 compounds. More recently, the ability of Oxone has also been ...
