Application

Sodium chlorite (NaClO₂) can be used as an oxidizing agent for the conversion of: Aldehydes to corresponding carboxylic acids under mild reaction conditions in the presence of scavengers such as sulfamic acid or resorcinol.Primary alcohols to carboxylic acids in the presence of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) and NaOCl. Aliphatic and aromatic thiols to the corresponding disulfides.Aryl boronic acids to phenols via ipso-hydroxylation.Cyclic benzylic ethers and N-protected cyclic benzylic amines to benzolactones and benzolactams.Alkenes to epoxides using aldehydes as promoters. Alkenes and cycloalkenes to 1, 2 diols via osmium-catalyzed Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation. It can also be used in combination with Br₂ to synthesize 2-carboxyazetidin-2-ones from furanylazetidinones.
