Abstract
Various arylalkanes such as fluorenes, xanthene, anthrone, 9,10-dihydroanthracene,
and diphenylmethane are effectively transformed into the corresponding aryl ketones,
while amino and aldehyde functionalities remain intact, under air in the presence
of cesium carbonate.
Key words
aerobic oxidation - oxygenation - arylalkanes - aryl ketones - cesium carbonate
