Y. M. Nandurkar , Ashokreddy B. Patil

Abstract :

Oxidation of benzylic and allylic alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes was achieved by active MnO2 , which is prepared in situ from KMnO4 and sodium hydroxide. The reaction condition is very mild and the yields of the products are excellent. The reaction was carried out in neutral solvent (petroleum ether) and the heterogeneous catalyst furnished good results.
