Abstract
The oxidation of secondary benzylic alchols to ketones by the chromium(VI) oxide/tert-butyl hydroperoxide system is compatible wih the presence of methyl, halide, methoxy, acetoxy or nitro substituents on the aryl group and of an unsaturation on the alkyl side chain. Benzyl alchol led to a mixture of benzaldehyde and benzoic acid.Keywords
