Oxone?
Hello everyone,
I've been looking for a good oxidizing agent lately and I think that for my purposes, oxone would be the best. Now, I'm sort of worried that
pool-grade oxone might not be pure enough to use for a lot of reactions, so is there any place I could order relatively pure oxone?
I've also been wanting to perform a Hoffman rearrangement, but I really don't want to mess with the Br2/NaOH route. Is there some sort of substitute
(direct hypobromite? hypochlorite?) that I could get in fairly pure form?
Ah and I'm not sure if I should put this in the thread (it's slightly unrelated, and I feel like I'm irritating you guys with all these questions),
but I've been wondering how I could go about performing an amidation to the primary amine (so using NH3 or the like) on a carboxylic acid.
I was thinking of using some ammonium carbonate with the carboxylic acid -- which I was thinking of activating with boric acid (an anhydride
intermediate is formed, am I right? -- source: Boric Acid-Catalyzed Amidation)
Is there a way to ensure a full reaction of ammonium carbonate with this intermediate? Is my method completely flawed? I don't know if this is the
place to ask, but I didn't want to irritate the mods in other forums.
Thanks,
Richik
