General description
Potassium peroxodisulfate is also known as potassium persulfate (K2S2O8). It is commonly used as an oxidizing agent and polymerization initiator in organic synthesis.
Application
Potassium peroxodisulfate can be used as:
- A polymerization initiator in the synthesis of polyacrylamide via radical polymerization of acrylamide.
- An oxidizing agent in the photochemical oxidation of atrazine aqueous solution.
K2S2O8 can also be used in the following process:
- K2S2O8-AgSCF3 catalytic system is used in the direct trifluoromethylthiolation of unactivated C(sp3)-H bonds under mild conditions. Usage of K2S2O8 in this process plays an important role in the activation of the C-H bond and the oxidation of AgSCF3.
- K2S2O8-FeCl3 is used for the thiocyanation of 2H-indazoles using ammonium thiocyanate as a thiocyanating agent.
