Abstract

A simple and selective method for oxidation of methylarenes, using pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) is described. This reagent can efficiently oxidize methylarenes to the corresponding aldehydes under mild aprotic conditions.

Key words

methylarenes - PCC - benzylic oxidations - aldehydes
