Document Abstract
Organic compounds receive from industries as effluents are highly toxic and hazardous for the environment. Conventional
oxidation process for the oxidation of organic compounds through use of N-bromophthalimide (NBP) is one of
the significant process for conversion of organic compounds into environmental friendly or less harmful substances. The
main scenario of this review is oxidation and kinetics of different organic compounds by NBP with different experimental
methods—iodometric and potentiometric along with uncatalyzed, and catalyzed system. In addition to this we also summarize
synthesis, properties and reactive species of NBP. Oxidation products obtained by oxidation of various organic
compounds by NBP were acetic acid, aldehyde, carbon dioxide, ammonia, cyanide, aldonic acid etc. Present review, first
time offers all aspects of NBP as an oxidizing agent for oxidation of organic compounds.
