Bis(1-Benzyl-3,5,7-Triaza-1-Azoniatricyclo[3.3.1.13,7] Decane) Peroxodisulfate: A Mild and Efficient Oxidation of Organic Compounds Under Anhydrous and Aprotic Conditions

Abstract Bis (1-benzyl-3, 5, 7-triaza-1-azoniatricyclo[3.3.1.13,7] decane) perox-odisulfate was readily prepared as an white solid from commercically available hexam-ethylenetetramine and potassium peroxodisulfate. This reagent could be used as a stable, mild and efficient oxidizer to produce the corresponding carbonyl compounds from hydroxyl compounds or hydrazones or oximes and disulfides from thiols under anhydrous and aprotic conditions. The yields were almost quantitative, and the reaction time was very short.
