Oxidation of alkynes using ammonium persulfate and diphenyl diselenide as
catalyst in aqueous media leads to 1,2-unprotected dicarbonyl derivatives or to
hemiacetals starting from terminal alkynes.

An environmentally benign protocol for the iodination of activated aromatics,
such as phenols, anilines, and hydroxycoumarins, using inexpensive commercially
available potassium iodide and ammonium peroxodisulfate in aqueous methanol at
room temperature provides predominantly ortho-monoiodinated products.
This acid-free method is compatible with various
oxidizable functional groups.

N-Acyl amino acids can be converted by oxidative decarboxylation induced
by Ag+/Cu2+/S2O82- at
room temperature in water into imides in good yields. Both N-benzoylvaline
and N-benzoylleucine gave N-formylbenzamide, which possibly
results from oxidative cleavage of an enamide intermediate.
