Application

Sodium persulfate can be used as an oxidant:
  • For the radical cyclization cascade reaction of 2-alkynylbenzonitriles and sodium arylsulfinates to synthesize sulfonated indenones.
  • In the silica-supported aluminum chloride-catalyzed Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclic and acyclic ketones to lactones or esters.
It can also be used as an initiator for the polymerization of styrene to synthesize polystyrene.

General description

Sodium persulfate, also known as Sodium peroxodisulfate is an inorganic compound and is a water-soluble strong oxidizing agent, that is stable and easy to handle. It is commonly used as an oxidant in organic synthesis reactions such as transition-metal-catalyzed or metal-free reactions. Additionally, it is used as a polymerization initiator and in the synthesis of sulfate radical anions through heat-activated decomposition.
