Selective oxidation of benzylic hydrocarbons to carbonyl compounds catalyzed by Mn(III) salen complexes

Selectie oxidation of benzylic hydrocarbons to the carbonyl compounds was achieved using a racemic Mn(III) salen complex 1 as the catalyst. The reaction proceeds in good yields under mild reaction conditions using iodosobenzene or aq. sodium hypochlorite as a stoichiometric oxidant. Benzylic hydroca...

Benzylic hydrocarbons were selectively oxidized to carbonyl compounds using a recemic Mn(III) salen complex as a catalyst under mild reaction conditions.
