Abstract
Benzylic oxidation using a Mn-salen complex 3 as catalyst and iodosylbenzene as oxidant was found to proceed with moderate enantioselectivity to give the corresponding benzylic alcohol in solvents of high viscosity such as chlorobenzene and fluorobenzene. For example, the oxidation of 1,1-dimethylindane with 3 gave 3-hydroxy-1,1-dimethylindane of 64% ee.
