12/13/11 - Parekh-Doering Oxidation

     This oxidation reaction is used in many stereospecific molecules to make sure that the stereochemistry is not compromised during the oxidation.  This reaction is used to turn an alcohol into a ketone (secondary OH) or aldehyde (primary OH).  This technology requires the addition of DMSO with pyridine-SO3, which causes the activation of the DMSO, and triethylamine.
