The phrase "as primary oxidant" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or technical contexts when discussing the main substance that causes oxidation in a chemical reaction.
Example: "In this experiment, hydrogen peroxide was used as primary oxidant to facilitate the reaction."
Alternatives: "as the main oxidant" or "as the chief oxidant".
A major progress in the field occurred in 2009 when Cao and co-workers in China reported that commercial catalyst AUROlite comprised of 1 % Au/TiO2 is an efficient and reusable catalyst for the base-free and solvent-free oxidation of alcohols using aqueous H2O2 as primary oxidant at 90 °C [8].
HA was oxidized by 4-acetamido-TEMPO-mediated reaction, using sodium hypochlorite as primary oxidant and NaBr in buffered pH, so that the produced aldehyde moieties (hemiacetals) were trapped in situ by adding primary amines containing azide or alkyne-terminal groups.
Methyltrioxorhenium was found a powerful and promising catalyst for the oxidation of both phenolic and non-phenolic lignin model compounds by use of hydrogen peroxide as primary oxidant.
In conclusion, SiliaCat Au successfully mediates the clean oxidation of various alcohols under solvent-free and base-free conditions to the corresponding carbonyl compounds (ketones and aldehydes) using aqueous hydrogen peroxide as primary oxidant at 90 °C.
Comparative studies on mediated epoxidation reaction using Oxone® as primary oxidant and various fluoroketones as reagents, revealed that ketone 3 is very efficient, in particular when used in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as solvent.
The P2-dispersion was prepared by direct surface carboxylation using (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-ylibed by Saitoxyl al. (2009).
Incomplete re-oxidation of x Fe2+ to Fe3+ (as the primary oxidant) increases the amount of H+ in the system [Eq. (5)], and would raise the H+ ratio by 1 2 2+x.
New developments in liquid phase catalytic oxidations of alcohols with O2 and H2O2 as the primary oxidant are reviewed.
Catalytic oxidations of alcohols, with dioxygen or hydrogen peroxide as the primary oxidant, in aqueous reaction media are reviewed.
Thus, the developments of a heterogeneous solid catalyst that can use molecular oxygen as a primary oxidant have attracted much more attention.
The terminal redox equivalents are obtained from reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides (NADPH and NADH, the former being preferred) and molecular triplet oxygen serves as the primary oxidant.
