Ceric ammonium nitrate is the orange-red, water-soluble cerium salt used as the specialized oxidizing agent in organic synthesis and a standard oxidant in quantitative analysis. Ceric ammonium nitrate is essentially an oxidizing agent that comprises one electron that allows intramolecular and intermolecular carbon to hetero and carbon to carbon atom bond formation. In addition, it is utilized as an oxidizing agent for secondary alcohols that turn it into benzylic and ketones alcohols, which are oxidized into aldehydes.
