Abstract
Oxidation of aldehydes and α-keto acids to carboxylic acids ocurrs readily in the presence of a flavin, thiazolium ion, and cationic micelles, the reaction involving trapping by the flavin of the intermediate formed from the substrate-thiazolium adducts through deprotonation or decarboxylation.
