Some common oxidizing agents
Oxidizing agents Acts on:
Chromic acid Na2Cr2O7 / H2SO4 alcohol
CrO 3, pyridine, HCl
LiAlH4
O3 Reactions????????
m-CPBA
NBS
NaIO4
NaBH4 and LiAlH4 (LAH): Reducing reagents
LiAlH4 is a stronger reducing agent than NaBH4 because the Al-H bond in the LiAlH4 is
weaker than the B-H bond in NaBH4. This makes the Al-H bond less stable. The reason
for this is low electronegativity of Aluminum (χ = 1.61) compared to Boron (χ = 2.01).
Ozone (O3): Oxidation through C=C bond cleavage
