General description
Calcium hypochlorite has oxidizing properties. It participates as an oxidant in the preparation of diamine-benzoquinone polymers.
Calcium hypochlorite is generally used for water disinfection and as a bleaching agent.
Application
Calcium hypochlorite may be used as an oxidant for the following conversions:
- aldehydes to the corresponding acids
- primary aliphatic alcohols to methyl esters
- aliphatic primary alcohols to the corresponding carboxylic acids
Calcium hypochlorite may be used in the following conversions:
- aldehydes to the corresponding acids
- primary aliphatic alcohols to methyl esters
- primary benzyl alcohols to methyl benzoates
- propargylic alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones
