Suitability

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, also be used as an initiator for the polymerization of styrene to synthesize polystyrene, considered to be a replacement for ammonium persulfate in etching mixtures, further, it is used in the preparation of diapocynin from apocynin, plays a role in the conversion of phenols to para-diphenols in alkaline solution and of arylamines to aminophenols, actively involved in the Elbs persulfate oxidation and the Boyland-Sims oxidation reactions as an oxidizing agent;
