Abstract

Catalytic air oxidation of benzoin to benzil in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) occurred in the presence of [Mn(SePh)4]2- or [Mn(SPh)4]2- (with conversion of 70% and 45%, respectively ([complex]/[benzoin] =1/20, 50 h, 20 °C)). Similar oxidation of other substrates, e.g. hydrazobenzene, benzaldehyde, and benzhydrol, was also found.
