P. Kumar et al., TITANIUM SILICATE MOLECULAR-SIEVE (TS-1) INDUCED CATALYTIC CLEAVAGE OF TOSYLHYDRAZONES, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (20), 1993, pp. 1553-1554
Titanium silicate molecular sieve, having MFI (TS-1) topology, efficie
ntly catalyses the oxidative cleavage of various tosylhydrazones to th
e corresponding carbonyl compounds in moderate to good yields, using d
ilute hydrogen peroxide (30%) as an oxidising agent and involving a un
ique electrophilic species; mechanistically, the intermediacy of oxazi
ridine has been established.
