Oxidation of Alcohols with Peracetic Acid in Ethyl Acetate in the Presence of Sodium Bromide

Aliphatic primary alcohols and 1,ω-diols were oxidized to the dimeric esters and lactones, respectively, by peracetic acid in ethyl acetate in the presence of sodium bromide under mild conditions. Aliphatic secondary and benzylic alcohols were converted smoothly to the corresponding carbonyl compoun...

More Information
Summary:Aliphatic primary alcohols and 1,ω-diols were oxidized to the dimeric esters and lactones, respectively, by peracetic acid in ethyl acetate in the presence of sodium bromide under mild conditions. Aliphatic secondary and benzylic alcohols were converted smoothly to the corresponding carbonyl compounds by the same system.
