An oxidizing agent, also referred to as an oxidant, is a chemical substance that facilitates oxidation by accepting electrons from other substances in a chemical reaction. This process leads to the oxidation of the substance donating electrons. Oxidizing agents play crucial roles in numerous ...
Oxidative methyl esterification of primary alcohols and diols with methanol in the presence of acetone as a hydrogen acceptor was successfully achieved under catalysis of an iridium complex combined with 2-(methylamino)ethanol (MAE).
Acrylonitrile is an organic compound with the formula CH2CHCN and the structure H2C=CH−C≡N. It is a colorless, volatile liquid. It has a pungent odor of garlic or onions. It is a kind of conjugated unsaturated nitrile, and the carbon-carbon double bond and cyano group in the molecule can ...
Ammonium persulfate (APS) is the inorganic compound with the formula (NH4)2S2O8. It is a colourless (white) salt that is highly soluble in water, much more so than the related potassium salt. It is a strong oxidizing agent that is used as a catalyst in polymer chemistry, as an etchant, and as a ...
1,4-Benzoquinone is a dehydrogenation reagent. The derivatives tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone are stronger oxidants, while duroquinone is a weaker oxidant. Whereas the resulting phenolate as reaction product of 1,4-benzoquinone (hydroquinone) is ...
