Abstract

Abstract Amberlite IRA 400 (strongly basic), a classical polymer imparts phase??transfer catalysis in the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols by hydrogen peroxide to give excellent yields of the corresponding carbonyl compounds or carboxylic acids in acetonitrile solvent at reflux temperature in 4–6 h. The catalytic system is inert to other susceptible oxidation sites such as carbon–carbon double bonds
