Abstract
Abstract The oxidation of alcohols was carried out with phenyltrimethylammonium tribromide in the presence of a catalytic amount of SbBr 3 or CuBr 2. 1, 2-Diols, such as hydrobenzoin, were converted into 1, 2-diketones or α-ketols without oxidative cleavage of the glycol CC bond at room temperature. A variety of secondary alcohols were also oxidized to the corresponding carbonyl compounds in a chemoselective manner.
