| Application: | Sodium hypochlorite solution can be used as an oxidizing agent for the oxidation of: • Primary alcohols to aldehydes or carboxylic acids and secondary alcohols to ketones. • Aryl aldehydes to the corresponding acids in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst. • Ethers to esters by careful pH control (pH range of 8–9.5), It can also be used as a reagent in the: • Epoxidation of enones and polycyclic arenes. • Oxidative degradation reaction • N-Chlorination of primary and secondary amines • Enantioselective epoxidation of α, β-unsaturated ketones • Asymmetric dihydroxylation of olefins in the presence of an osmium catalyst • Chlorination of allylic carbons in the presence of CeCl3 |
| Features and Benefits: | • Readily available reagent • Easily handled oxidizing agent • No phase-transfer catalyst is necessary for the oxidation of substrates in the pH range 10–11 • Simplified waste disposal and lower toxicity |
| General description: | Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is a commonly used reagent in organic synthesis for many oxidation and chlorination reactions. It is also often used as a disinfectant or a bleaching agent in chemical industries. |
