Abstract

Secondary benzylic alcohols with an alkyl chain are oxidized faster than simple benzyl alcohols. However the reaction time is prolonged, when the alkyl chain is replaced by a bulky phenyl ring such as benzhydrol and 9-hydroxyfluorene. All the benzyl and benzylic alcohols give yields >90%. Allylic alcohols without steric hindrance react faster to give excellent yield (>80%). The present method is superior to others currently available due to its relatively short reaction times and excellent yields.
