Abstract

Fluorous sulfides and sulfoxides are effective odor-free reagents for the Corey-Kim and Swern oxidations of diversely functionalized primary and secondary alcohols to aldehydes and ketones. The reagents can be recovered in high yield by a continuous fluorous extraction of the reaction mixture.
