Abstract

Abstract: Uranium hexafluoride was found to be an active, yet selective, oxidizing agent for organic compounds. It is very effective in oxidizing methyl ethers, benzylic bromides, N, N- dimethylalkylamines, hydrazones, benzylic alcohols, and oximes to carbonyl compounds. Benzyl and benzhydryl ethers were cleaved to the parent alcohols. The intermediate oxonium ions formed in the oxidation of ethers were trapped with dithiols to yield 1, 2- ...
