The current text seems to originate from this and this. Could someone with insight (and no CoI) rewrite, or should we just get rid of it? It's pretty useless as it stands. Favonian (talk) 17:19, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Asymmetric catalytic oxidation is, presumably, a specialized application of catalytic oxidation so how can the two be unrelated? Biscuittin (talk) 19:49, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Editing June, 2013 - Advice on content welcome

[edit]

Catalytic oxidation is a large topic and so the undeveloped nature of this core article was a little surprising to me before I started revising today. The topic is so central that advice from others is welcome so that the editing proceeds with some consensus or at least the absence of dissent:

  • Should the article remain mainly focused on use of O2/air or should it also include the electrochemical sense of electron-removal? Redox seems to cover the latter.
  • Is Catalytic oxidation the appropriate home for both the industrial oxidations, e.g. terephthalic and nitric acids, and the little oxidations, e.g. Sharpless epoxidation?
  • For the O2/air based oxidations, eventually something should be said on mechanisms: O-atom transfer, radical chain, things like that.

Other advice or comments is welcome.--Smokefoot (talk) 01:46, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • At it happens I recently started a discussion about merging asymmetric catalytic oxidation into this page, as it's currently little more than a disambiguation. Ultimately I think you'd want more than one page, there's just so much to cover, although epoxide formation (at least as an intermediate) does seem to dominate. I think for now our focus should be on bulk chemical manufacture and named reactions, as this covers most of the important stuff. I’d be tempted to flag this up on the project page – there’s plenty to do here, we’ll need more editors. Project Osprey (talk) 08:49, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
