Oxidation Of Esters
The oxidation of esters can result in the formation of hydroperoxides, cyclic ethers, ketones, and aldehydes with an ester function.
CH3COOCH2CH2 + O2 + Fe2⁺ → CH3COCH2CH2CH2 + CH3COOH + Fe2⁺
Recent years have seen a great deal of research on the oxidation of esters, with methyl and ethyl esters receiving the majority of this attention.
