Abstract

Abstract Nitric acid in dichloromethane may be successfully employed for the oxidation of benzylic alcohols and ethers to the corresponding carbonyl compounds. The proposed method proved to be of general applicability, affording very good yields of aldehydes and ketones and showing interesting chemoselectivity in many instances, allowing competitive aromatic nitration to be avoided, as well as− in the case of aldehydes− any further ...
