Abstract

Abstract A variety of secondary alcohols, 1, 2-diols and primary alcohols were selectively oxidized in excellent yields to their corresponding ketones, 1, 2-diketones and aldehydes with aqueous 30% hydrogen peroxide in refluxing acetonitrile in the presence of catalytic amounts of N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one hydrotribromide (MPHT).(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
