Kornblum Oxidation Mechanism. Mechanism of the kornblum oxidation. This intermediate 4 is susceptible to kornblum oxidation by dmso which leads to the.
The direct oxidation of a halide (at the alcohol oxidation state) to the ketone is the kornblum oxidation. Hereby, this review talks about the combined role of molecular iodine and dmso in revolutionizing synthetic methodologies, especially reactions related to the oxidation.
