Abstract
The high reactivity of ozone and its propensity to overoxidize organic molecules, including most solvents can largely be mitigated by adsorbing both substrate and ozone onto silica gel, providing a solvent-free oxidation method. A flow-based packed bed reactor approach provides exceptional control of temperature and time for oxidation of amines to nitroalkanes and the synthesis of pyridine N-oxides.
