Usage of potassium chlorate in organic chemistry
Folks,
it is known that potassium chlorate is a strong oxidising agent, much like potassium permanganate. However, contrarily to the latter, potassium
chlorate seems to be very seldom used in organic chemistry – albeit it leaves behind benign products, essentially potassium chloride.
Does anyone ever attempted an oxidation reaction using potassium chlorate, say, instead of potassium permanganate (ex: toluene → benzaldehyde or
benzoic acid)?
Just curious.

Maybe it oxidizes chloride back to chlorine. Then chlorine makes various chlorinated (substituted) products as well. So chlorate may not be as clean
as it seems at first.

Right.
(see for example: Bull. Korean Chem. Soc. 2011, Vol. 32, No. 2, p.472 - freely available... but attached)
