Abstract

QUANTITATIVE conversion of alcohols into carbonyl compounds can be effected conveniently, under mild reaction conditions, using ferric nitrate impregnated on K 10 bentonlte clay. This reagent (" clayfen" for short) is obtained easily and cheaply from addltlon of the clay to a suspension of ferric nitrate in acetone and evaporation of the solvent To perform the oxldatlon, clayfen 1s added to a pentane or hexane solution of the alcohol, ...
