Abstract
Abstract Benzyl alcohol, 2-methyl benzyl alcohol, 3-methyl benzyl alcohol, benzhydrol, 4-methylbenzhydrol and 4,4′-dimethoxybenzhydrol were oxidized efficiently to the corresponding ketones, carboxylic acids or aldehydes in good-to-excellent yields and purities at 45 °C in acetonitrile using H 2 O 2 as oxidant catalyzed by AlCl 3 .
