Pinnick oxidation normally runs in a hugely excess amount of the solvent, so this hydrogen bonding would be out of effect, instead intermolecular hydrogen bonding between solvent molecules would rather be predominant. Thus, even with the slight shift in the OH signal, the reaction proceeds through the manner of the TS 8 progression ( figure 4 a ). The Pinnick oxidation is an organic reaction by which aldehydes can be oxidized into their corresponding carboxylic acids using sodium chlorite (NaClO 2) under mild acidic conditions. It was originally developed by Lindgren and Nilsson. The typical reaction conditions used today were developed by G. A. Kraus. H.W. Pinnick later demonstrated that these conditions could be applied to oxidize α Media in category "Pinnick oxidation" The following 7 files are in this category, out of 7 total. 2-Methyl-2-butene hypochlorous-acid.png 1,949 × 401; 36 KB.
