Talk:Babler oxidation

Name of page[edit]

I decided to use the shorter name "Babler oxidation" for the page (and have "Babler-Dauben oxidation" redirect to it) as Babler was the initial discoverer and the reaction can be found mentioned as such in other wikipedia articles (prior to the creation of this one). Recently it has been more commonly referred to as the "Babler-Dauben" in literature, and I tried to reflect this in the body of the article but did not feel it was also required in the title. Any reasonable suggestions to change this are welcome. --A. T. Galenitis (talk) 18:08, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Babler oxidation Mechanism[edit]

The mechanism shown for Babler oxidation seems partially wrong, besides missing the first step. This being a nucleophilic substitution where alcohol attacks the chlorochromate with deprotonation, it should happen with substitution of Cl- (so loss of HCl). The image shows instead what appears to be a loss of a negative oxygen species.

Correct (or a least supposed) mechanism is available in the same article already cited in the page^[1]
