“…CAN has been widely used in organic reactions which include oxidation, [12][13][14][15][16] oxidative addition, [17][18][19][20][21] photooxidation, 22 nitration, [23][24][25] deprotection, 26,27 graft polymerization, 28,29 etc. Intermediates formed in these reactions may undergo oxidative fragmentation, 30,31 rearrangement, [32][33][34] or C-H, C-C and C-S bond [35][36][37][38] cleavages. Organic sulfides can be oxidized with catalytic amounts of Ce(IV) salts rapidly and selectively to sulfoxides.…”
