TY - JOUR T1 - Dimethyl sulfoxide pivaloyl chloride: a new reagent for oxidation of alcohols to carbonyls JF - Synthetic Communications Y1 - 2008 A1 - Dubey, Abhishek A1 - Kandula, Subba Rao V. A1 - Kumar, Pradeep KW - Alcohols KW - carbonyls KW - DMSO KW - pivaloyl chloride KW - Swern oxidation AB -

An efficient procedure for conversion of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds, an alternative to the classical Swern oxidation, is described. Pivaloyl chloride is employed as a mild and inexpensive electrophile. A possible reaction mechanism is proposed.
