Abstract

Sodium perborate in acetic acid is an effective reagent for the oxidation of aromatic aldehydes to carboxylic acids, iodoarenes to (diacetoxyiodo) arenes, azines to N-oxides, and various types of sulphur heterocycles to S, S-dioxides. Nitriles are unaffected by the reagent in acetic acid, but undergo smooth hydration to amides when aqueous methanol is employed as solvent.
