Oxidizing agents

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

9-Azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane N-Oxyl (ABNO) is a less hindered nitroxyl radical, that exhibits an enhanced reactivity compared with TEMPO.

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).

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 ...
