Oxidation of some organic compounds with selective catalysis – Review

The review surveys the development of kinetics and various oxidizing agents which can be used during the study of chemical kinetics along with oxidation of some organic substrates by hexacyanoferrate (III) /HCF (III). Since HCF (III) is acting as relatively poor oxidant, it acts as a selective outer-sphere reagent applicable for most of the easily oxidizable substrates and normally it is used as free radical interceptor; because of which it converts into a species acting as an efficient one electron oxidant mainly for the octahedral complexes in comparative study.
