Talk:Lindgren oxidation

Why is Pinnick oxidation wrong?
It can't just be because Lindgren described it first, surely? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.197.91.200 (talk) 17:24, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

In "Strategic Applications of Named Reactions in Organic Synthesis", László Kürti and Barbara Czakó, p.354, it is also mentioned as Pinnick oxidation. "In 1981, H.W. Pinnick showed that the NaClO2/2-methyl-2-butene system was generally applicable to the oxidation for a wide range of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes without affecting any of the double bonds present. Today, this transformation of aldehydes (aliphatic, aromatic, saturated, or unsaturated) to the corresponding carboxylic acids is referred to as the Pinnick oxidation". My lecturer refers to it as the Lindgren oxidation. Maybe both is right. 94.139.29.23 (talk) 12:41, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
