Abstract
The novel oxidant of sodium hypochlorite pentahydrate (NaOCl·5H2O) crystals is now available for industrial and laboratory use. It is superior to conventional aqueous sodium hypochlorite solutions (aq. NaOCl). The crystalline material is 44% NaOCl and contains minimal amounts of sodium hydroxide and sodium chloride, and the aqueous solution, which is prepared from NaOCl·5H2O and water, has a pH of 11–12. Examples of the selective organic synthesis using NaOCl·5H2O involve the oxidations of primary and secondary alcohols, selective oxidations to sulfoxide and sulfone, oxidative cleavage of disulfide to sulfonyl chloride and bromide, oxaziridine synthesis, and oxidative dearomatization of phenols.
