TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that α-hydroxy acids by acidic bromine water is similar to the oxalic acid-bromine-water reaction, in both cases HOBr is the oxidant and the undissociated form of...
Abstract
The oxidative pattern of α-hydroxy acids by acidic bromine water is shown to be similar to the oxalic acid – bromine water reaction. In both cases HOBr is the oxidant and the undissociated form of ...

A kinetic study of the oxidation of α‐hydroxy acids and α‐hydroxy ketones by potassium bromate

TL;DR: In this article, a mechanism involving a slow formation of a bromate ester of the α-hydroxy acid followed by a fast decomposition is proposed, which explains the kinetic data for the oxidation of benzoin.

Conversion of Plant Secondary Metabolites upon Fermentation of Mercurialis perennis L. Extracts with two Lactobacteria Strains

TL;DR: This work investigated the metabolic conversion of constituents from Mercurialis perennis L. extracts, which were prepared for such applications, and observed an almost complete conversion of the genuine piperidine-2,6-dione alkaloids hermidine quinone and chrysohermidin, while novel metabolites such as methylhermid in (6) and methylherMidin quin one (7) were formed.

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of some α-hydroxy acids by hexamethylenetetramine-bromine

TL;DR: In this paper, it is proposed that hexamethylenetetetramine-bromine (HABR) itself is the reactive oxidizing species, and a mechanism involving transfer of a hydride ion from the acid to the oxidant is proposed.
