Application

2,4-Dichlorotoluene was used as an oxidant and a solvent during anaerobic catalytic oxidation of secondary alcohols by using an in situ (N-heterocyclic carbene)-Ni(0) system. It was used as growth supplement in the culture media of Ralstonia sp. strain PS12. It was used to develop a sensitive method based on solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for the analysis of chlorotoluenes in water samples.

The selective, anaerobic catalytic oxidation of secondary alcohols at room temperature by using an in situ (N-heterocyclic carbene)-Ni(0) system is presented. The use of non-anhydrous, non-degassed 2,4-dichlorotoluene as both the oxidant and the solvent allows for very short reaction times
