Oxidizing agents

2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (or DDQ) is the chemical reagent with formula C6Cl2(CN)2O2. This oxidant is useful for the dehydrogenation of alcohols, phenols, and steroid ketones. DDQ decomposes in water, but is stable in aqueous mineral acid.

chemical compound

'''N-Chlorosuccinimide (NCS''') is the organic compound with the formula C2H4(CO)2NCl. This white solid is used for chlorinations. It is also used as a mild oxidant. NCS is related to succinimide, but with N–Cl in place of N–H. The N–Cl bond is highly reactive, and NCS functions as a source of "Cl+".

chemical compound

'Pyridine-N-oxide' is the heterocyclic compound with the formula C5H5NO. This colourless, hygroscopic solid is the product of the oxidation of pyridine. Its synthesis was first reported by Jakob Meisenheimer, who used peroxybenzoic acid as the oxidant. The compound is used infrequently as an oxidizing reagent in organic synthesis.

Chloranil is a quinone with the molecular formula C6Cl4O2. Also known as tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone, it is a yellow solid. Like the parent benzoquinone, chloranil is a planar molecule that functions as a mild oxidant.

Dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) is the organic compound with the formula . It is the dioxirane derived from acetone and can be viewed as the monomer of acetone peroxide. It is a powerful selective oxidizing agent that finds some use in organic synthesis. It is known only in the form of a dilute solution, usually in acetone, and hence the properties of the pure material are largely unknown.

Ferrate(VI) is the inorganic anion with the chemical formula [FeO4]2−. It is photosensitive, contributes a pale violet colour to compounds and solutions containing it and is one of the strongest water-stable oxidizing species known. Although it is classified as a weak base, concentrated solutions containing ferrate(VI) are corrosive and attack the skin and are only stable at high pH. It is similar to the somewhat more stable permanganate.

Bis(trimethylsilyl)peroxide (sometimes abbreviated as BTSP) is an organosilicon compound with the formula ((CH3)3SiO)2. It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents so long as they lack acidic groups. The compound represents an aprotic analogue of hydrogen peroxide and as such it is used for certain sensitive organic oxidations. Upon treatment with organolithium compounds, it affords the silyl ether.
