The Kharasch–Sosnovsky reaction is a method that involves using a copper or cobalt salt as a catalyst to oxidize olefins at the allylic position, subsequently condensing a peroxy ester (e.g. tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate) or a peroxide resulting in the formation of allylic benzoates or alcohols via radical oxidation.

These reagents, as well as other, more exotic adducts of nitrogen heterocycles with chromium(VI), facilitate a number of oxidative transformations of organic compounds, including cyclization to form tetrahydrofuran derivatives and allylic transposition to afford enones from allylic alcohols. The above reagents represent improvements over the ...
Babler-Dauben oxidation of cyclic tertiary allylic alcohols. The reaction produces the desired enone product to high yield (typically >75%), is operationally simple and does not require air-free techniques or heating. [1] It suffers, however, from the very high toxicity and environmental hazard posed by the hexavalent chromium PCC oxidising ...
The Riley Oxidation is amenable to a variety of carbonyl and olefinic systems with a high degree of regiocontrol based on the substitution pattern of the given system. Ketones with two available α-methylene positions react more quickly at the least hindered position.: [1] Allylic oxidation can be predicted by the substitution pattern on the ...
This type of reaction is called a Riley oxidation. It is also renowned as a reagent for allylic oxidation, [11] a reaction that entails the following conversion Allylic oxidation. This can be described more generally as; R 2 C=CR'-CHR" 2 + [O] → R 2 C=CR'-C(OH)R" 2. where R, R', R" may be alkyl or aryl substituents.
N-Bromosuccinimide or NBS is a chemical reagent used in radical substitution, electrophilic addition, and electrophilic substitution reactions in organic chemistry. NBS can be a convenient source of Br •, the bromine radical. [1]
PCC is used as an oxidant.In particular, it has proven to be highly effective in oxidizing primary and secondary alcohols to aldehydes and ketones, respectively.The reagent is more selective than the related Jones' Reagent, so there is little chance of over-oxidation to form carboxylic acids if acidified potassium permanganate is used as long as water is not present in the reaction mixture.
In teaching laboratories and small scale operations, many reagents have been developed for the oxidation secondary alcohols to ketones and primary alcohols to aldehydes. Allylic and benzylic alcohols are especially prone to oxidation. Aldehydes are susceptible to over oxidation to carboxylic acids.
