Substituted benzylic alcohols and aromatic aldehydes can be oxidised efficiently to substituted benzaldehydes and benzoic acids respectively with 1-chloromethyl-4-fluoro-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis(tetrafluoroborate); the latter conversion proceeds via acid fluorides, which enables aldehydes to function as acylating agents in a one-pot procedure. © 1994 Georg Thieme Verlag.
