Description

• General description: Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is a commonly used reagent in organic synthesis for many oxidation and chlorination reactions.[1]
• Application: Sodium hypochlorite solution can be used as an oxidizing agent for the oxidation of:       Primary alcohols to aldehydes or carboxylic acids and secondary alcohols to ketones.      Aryl aldehydes to the corresponding acids in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst.       Ethers to esters by careful pH control (pH range of 8–9.5),It can also be used as a reagent in the:       Epoxidation of enones and polycyclic arenes.       Oxidative degradation reaction       N-Chlorination of primary and secondary aminesEnantioselective epoxidation of α, β-unsaturated ketones       Asymmetric dihydroxylation of olefins in the presence of an osmium catalyst       Chlorination of allylic carbons in the presence of CeCl3
• Features and Benefits: Readily available reagent       Easily handled oxidizing agent       No phase-transfer catalyst is necessary for the oxidation of substrates in the pH range 10–11      Simplified waste disposal and lower toxicity
