Tungstate sulfuric acid (TSA)/KMnO4 as a novel heterogeneous system for rapid deoximation

Molecules. 2006 Sep 28;11(9):720-5. doi: 10.3390/11090720.

Abstract

Neat chlorosulfonic acid reacts with anhydrous sodium tungstate to give tungstate sulfuric acid (TSA), a new dibasic inorganic solid acid in which two sulfuric acid molecules connect to a tungstate moiety via a covalent bond. A variety of oximes were oxidized to their parent carbonyl compounds under mild conditions with excellent yields in short times by a heterogeneous wet TSA/KMnO4 in dichloromethane system.
