TETRAETHYLAMMONIUM CHLOROCHROMATE : A NOVEL OXIDANT, KINETIC AND MECHANISTIC ASPECT

摘要

Organic halochromates, a new class of inild Cr(VI) reagents have been introduced recently as oxidising agents for the oxidation of organic substrates owing to their being versatile, operationally simple, and easily accessible. These reagents have been found to be better in their reactivity and selectivity compared to common Cr(VI) oxidant. Tetraethylammonium chlorochromate adds to the select list of newer Cr(VI) reagents as the most significant oxidant for the effective and selective oxidation of organic substrates under mild conditions. This review highlights the recent work on the kinetics and mechanism of the reactions of organic substrates using this oxidant.
