Abstract: A method for oxidizing primary amino alcohol, primary or secondary alkenol or alkynol to the corresponding acid or ketone, wherein a primary amino alcohol, a primary or secondary alkenol or alkynol as a substrate is oxidized to the corresponding ketone in the presence of an equimolar amount or a molar excess, based on the alcoholic hydroxyl groups, of periodate, catalytic amounts of dichromate or CrO3, and in the presence of an acid, in water, a water/solvent mixture or in a solvent at a temperature of ?20° C. to +50° C. to give the corresponding acid or corresponding ketone.

Abstract: Process for the oxidation of aldehydes to the corresponding acids in which an aldehyde as substrate is oxidized to the corresponding acid in the presence of an equimolar amount, or a molar excess, of periodate, catalytic amounts of dichromate or CrO3, and in the presence of an acid in water, a water/solvent mixture or in a solvent at a temperature of −20° C. to +50° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for oxidizing primary amino alcohols, primary or secondary alkenols or alkinols into the corresponding acids or ketones. According to said method, a primary amino alcohol or a primary or secondary alkenol or alkinol is oxidized in the form of a substrate, in the presence of an equimolar quantity of periodate or a molar excess thereof in relation to the alcoholic hydroxy groups and catalytic quantities of dichromate or CrO3 and in the presence of an acid in water, a water/solvent mixture or a solvent at a temperature of −20 ° C. to +50 ° C., to produce the corresponding acid or the corresponding ketone.
