Oxydation aldehyde with H2O2
« on: June 18, 2005, 10:47:24 AM »

Hi alles!
I am asking for the posibility to oxydise one aliphatic aldehyde to the coresponding acid by using 50% H2O2(hydrogen peroxyde) as oxydizing agent. Do you think this will work ???
Thanks :)

Not likely.  You'd probably get mostly Baeyer-Villiger reaction, although this is usually slow when aldehydes are concerned.
