Abstract
Tetrakis(pyridine)silver(II) peroxodisulfate oxidizes aromatic aldehydes to carboxylic acids, benzylic alcohols to carbonyl compounds, aromatic thiols, and allylaryl thioethers to arylsulfonic acids and benzylic carbon–hydrogen bonds to carbonyl groups. α-Hydroxycarboxylic acids and phenylacetic acids are decarboxylated to produce carbonyl compounds. Dibenzyl ether and its sulfur analogue are converted to their corresponding ester and the thioester, respectively.
