20.2.1.3.6 Synthesis of Carboxylic Acids from Aldehydes and Ketones (Update 2024)

Abstract

This chapter is an update to the earlier Science of Synthesis contribution (Section 20.2.1.3) and describes methods for the formation of carboxylic acids reported in the period 2007–2023. The focus is on recent advances in the synthetic preparations of carboxylic acids from aldehydes and ketones using green and sustainable reagents as well as continuous flow procedures.
