SOME OXIDATIVE TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE CARBONYL-COMPOUNDS AND THEIR AZOMETHINE DERIVATIVES

Oxidative transformations of the aldehydes, ketones, and their azometh ine derivatives such as hydrazones, Schiff bases, azines, and oximes a re presented and discussed. The oxidants used have been hydrogen perox ide in the presence of selenium compounds as catalysts, peroxycarboxyl ic acids, and eerie ammonium nitrate. Some of reported reactions have practical value in the synthesis of phenols, esters, carboxylic acids, nitriles, nitrones, oxaziridines, and oxadiazoles.
