The study of newer methods for the oxidation of organic compounds
thesis
posted on 2018-10-25, 10:29 authored by Trevor G. ClarkeMethods for the oxidation of aralkyl compounds have been examined
with special reference to the oxidation of toluene and O-toluenesulphonamide.
Catalytic aerial oxidations have been investigated as
possible procedures with an industrial application. The stability
of O-toluenesulphonamide towards oxidation is accounted for and the
mechanism of oxidation of toluene by both homolytic and heterolytic
bond fission is discussed. The preparation of saccharin by oxidation
of O-toluenesulphonamide with manganese dioxide in acid solution is
reported. [Continues.]
