Abstract
Abstract Chlorotrimethylsilane-chromium (VI) reagents in acetonitrile or dichloromethane are efficient systems for the oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds; they are also highly efficient for the selective oxidation of mercaptans to disulfides and for a mild cleavage of oximes to carbonyl compounds. Trimethylsilyl chlorochromate is suggested as the oxidising active species.
