Abstract

AlBr₃·6H₂O was found to be an efficient catalyst in the field of oxidation of benzylic alcohols. Primary and secondary benzylic alcohols could be transformed into corresponding aldehydes and ketones with almost complete conversion and high selectivity. The non-transition metal related reaction systems have an incomparable advantage over others, such as easy work-up, excellent selectivity as well as commercial availability.
