The selective oxidation of benzylic alcohols to carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes and ketones, is a very important organic synthesis for industrial production and is one of the most challenging reactions in green chemistry.

Abstract

The selective oxidation of benzylic alcohols to carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes and ketones, is a very important organic synthesis for industrial production and is one of the most challenging reactions in green chemistry. As a matter of fact, the aldehydes and ketones are key intermediates in perfumes, spices, flame retardants, pharmaceuticals and other fine chemicals. Although during past decades, a number of papers has been focused on developing new catalyst systems, for the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols with mild, green, and economic process, it is still a big challenge in organic synthetic chemistry. In this study, a novel selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols to aldehydes and ketones was established by using H2O2 (30% aq) together with Pd(II)-based new catalysts.
