Sodium percarbonate: A convenient reagent for the thermal and sonic oxidative cleavage of α-haloketones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919508015507

Sodium percarbonate has been found to be a mild and effective reagent for the oxidative cleavage of α-haloketones to carboxylic acids. Furthermore, the reactions are dramatically accelerated in the presence of ultrasound with significant enhancement in yields.
