Kilomentor’s Selected Oxidation Bibliography

In chemical process development oxidation process steps are common either to interchange the functional groups or to assist in creating the target skeleton. Oxidation steps frequently are strongly exothermic and so on-scale may require special attention to heat transfer and cooling. But when it comes to oxidation the biggest problem for the process chemist may turn out to be choosing from the vast literature appropriate reagents and model systems to base the development upon. Over the years, Kilomentor has collected literature citations pertinent to a range of oxidative transformations that seemed particularly scalable, simple, economic, efficient, or environmentally friendly. These references are gathered below according to substrate type. Some references belong in more than one section. An abstract is given beneath the reference, which in some instances I have expanded with some more detail.
