• Has been used in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pyridinium dichromate, L15132, or Potassium dichromate, A18722, and a phase-transfer catalyst, for the selective oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones: Tetrahedron Lett., 35, 1989 (1994); Synth. Commun., 25, 2373 (1995).
• Can be used to generate the powerful oxidant peroxytrifluoroacetic acid from trifluoroacetic anhydride, avoiding the use of hazardous 90% hydrogen peroxide. The in situ generated peracid is useful in promoting the Baeyer-Villiger reaction of difficult substrates: Bull. Korean Chem. Soc., 17, 5 (1996).
