Abstract
Zirconyl chloride octahydrate-potassium permanganate is used for highly selective and efficient oxidation of primary and secondary benzylic alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds under mild condition. Over-oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids and damage to carbon–carbon double bond is not observed by this method.
