  Catalytic Applications of Copper Species in Organic Transformations: A Review

  By P. K Tandon, Singh S. B

  Abstract: Copper a naturally occurring element is present in the earth's crust, in oceans, lakes, and rivers, from minute trace element levels through to rich mine deposits. It is essential to life – plants, fish, animals and humans all need copper to function properly. Homogeneous copper catalyzed reactions are widely used for the construction of important organic molecules, including pharmaceuticals, commodity chemicals, and polymers. The development of copper catalysis has been …

  Catalysis by Iridium (III) in the Oxidation of Hydrocarbons and Cyclic Alcohols by in situ Prepared Sodium Ferrate

  By P. K Tandon, B. Kesarwani

  Abstract: Potassium ferrate can be used as an oxidant only after separating it in the solid form for which tedious and multi-step process involving hazardous chemicals is required. Problems of separation of potassium ferrate in the solid form and its storage can be minimized if in situ prepared sodium ferrate is used as an oxidant which easily oxidizes hydrocarbons and cyclic alcohols from the synthetic point of view. Surprisingly, addition of …
