Benzyltriphenylphosphonium peroxodisulfate is an easily prepared and s
table reagent. It could be used as an oxidant under aprotic and nonaqu
eous conditions in organic solvents. This reagent oxidizes different c
lasses of alcohols to carbonyl compounds, thiols to disulfides, sulfid
es to sulfoxides, oximes to carbonyl compounds and aromatic amines to
azo compounds efficiently, alpha-Hydroxy carboxylic acids and phenylac
etic acids undergo oxidative decarboxylation to produce carbonyl compo
unds.
