Abstract

Allylic and benzylic alcohols were oxidized in good yields to the respective ketones by-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) in the presence of copper salts under phase-transfer catalysis conditions. This dehydrogenation was found to proceed a heterolytic mechanism. CuCl, CuCl, and even copper powder were equally facile as
