General description

Sodium persulfate (Sodium peroxodisulfate) is an inorganic sodium salt. It is a cheap, eco-friendly oxidizing reagent. It is widely employed in bleaches and hair-coloring formulations.

Application

Sodium persulfate (Sodium peroxodisulfate) may be employed as an oxidizing reagent for the palladium-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization reaction of O-phenylcarbamates with arenes. It may be used to compose the initiator solution required for the preparation of hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) gel disks.

By palladium catalysis, the C-H bond functionalization of O-phenylcarbamates with simple arenes has been achieved using sodium persulfate (Na(2)S(2)O(8)), an inexpensive, easy-to-handle, and environmentally friendly oxidant. This oxidative cross-coupling involves two aromatic C-H bonds undergoing concomitant oxidation to furnish a

Contaminant destruction with in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) using persulfate (peroxydisulfate, S2O8(2-)) can be enhanced by activation, which increases the rate of persulfate decomposition to sulfate radicals (SO4*-). This step initiates a chain of radical reactions involving species (including SO4*-
