Sodium chlorite is a highly effective industrial bleaching agent and oxidizing disinfectant. In organic synthesis, sodium chlorite is an inexpensive and versatile reagent, which has been widely used for the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids under mild conditions. This popular transformation is known as Pinnick oxidation. In this new AtlanChim Pharma webinar, we will illustrate various applications of sodium chlorite, not only for Pinnick oxidation but also for other transformations such as one-pot oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids, one-pot oxidative amidation of aldehydes with primary amines, C-H oxidation, furan ring oxidation and more, through recent examples from medicinal chemistry and total synthesis of natural products.
As usual, I will be happy to present this work to you and answer all your questions! We therefore give you an appointment on Thursday, June 19 at 3:00 p.m.
Jacques LEBRETON,
Scientific Director, AtlanChim Pharma
His current research activity concerns the synthesis of biologically active molecules, natural or not, in the fields of cancer, viral pathologies and neurodegenerative diseases, through academic and industrial collaborations. He is also strongly involved in the understanding of biological mechanisms through the synthesis of molecules selectively labeled by non-radioactive isotopes.
