  2. Pinnick oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinnick_Oxidation

    Standard protective group approaches, such as the use of t-BOC, are a viable solution to these problems. [12] Thioethers are also highly susceptible to oxidation. For example, Pinnick oxidation of thioanisaldehyde gives a high yield of carboxylic acid products, but with concomitant conversion of the thioether to the sulfoxide or sulfone. [7]

  3. Alcohol oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_oxidation

    Sarett's reagent: a solution of CrO 3 (pyridine) 2 in pyridine. It was popularized for selective oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to carbonyl compounds. Collins reagent is a solution of the same CrO 3 (pyridine) 2 but in dichloromethane. The Ratcliffe variant of Collins reagent relates to details of the preparation of this solution ...

  4. Wacker process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wacker_process

    Extractive distillation with water removes the lights ends having lower boiling points than acetaldehyde (chloromethane, chloroethane, and carbon dioxide) at the top, while water and higher-boiling byproducts, such as acetic acid, crotonaldehyde or chlorinated acetaldehydes, are withdrawn together with acetaldehyde at the bottom. [27]

  5. Albright–Goldman oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albright–Goldman_oxidation

    Reaktionsmechanismus Albright-Goldman-Oxidation. First, dimethyl sulfoxide (1) reacts with acetic anhydride to form a sulfonium ion. It reacts with the primary alcohol in an addition reaction. Furthermore, acetic acid is cleaved, so that intermediate 2 is formed. The latter reacts upon elimination of acetic acid and dimethyl sulphide to the ...

  6. Carbonyl reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_reduction

    Acid chlorides can be reduced to give aldehydes with sterically hindered hydride donors. The reducing agent DIBAL-H (diisobutylaluminium hydride) is often used for this purpose, although it normally reduces any carbonyl. DIBAL-H can selectively reduce acid chlorides to the aldehyde level if only one equivalent is used at low temperatures. [12]

  7. Oppenauer oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppenauer_oxidation

    The Oppenauer oxidation is still used for the oxidation of acid labile substrates. The method has been largely displaced by oxidation methods based on chromates (e.g. pyridinium chlorochromate ) or dimethyl sulfoxide (e.g. Swern oxidation ) or Dess–Martin oxidation due to its use of relatively mild and non-toxic reagents (e.g. the reaction is ...

  8. Alcohol dehydrogenase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_dehydrogenase

    The enzyme responsible for the conversion of acetaldehyde to acetate, however, remains unaffected, which leads to differential rates of substrate catalysis and causes a buildup of toxic acetaldehyde, causing cell damage. [7] This provides some protection against excessive alcohol consumption and alcohol dependence (alcoholism).

  9. Acetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid

    acetyl chloride SOCl 2 acetic acid (i) Li[AlH 4], ether (ii) H 3 O + ethanol Two typical organic reactions of acetic acid Acetic acid undergoes the typical chemical reactions of a carboxylic acid. Upon treatment with a standard base, it converts to metal acetate and water. With strong bases (e.g., organolithium reagents), it can be doubly deprotonated to give LiCH 2 COOLi. Reduction of acetic ...
