Abstract
1,2-Ethylenebis(triphenylphosphonium)chlorochromate was quantitatively prepared and used for the oxidation of various benzylic and some aliphatic alcohols to their corresponding carbonyl compounds in water or acetonitrile and under microwave irradiation. This new oxidizing agent has advantages over similar oxidants in terms of the amount of used oxidant, short reaction time, simple work-up, and high yields. Furthermore, the oxidation of alcohols occurred under microwave irradiation many times and it produced the corresponding carbonyl compounds with high yields and short reaction times, when compared with the conventional method. Finally, the oxidation of different alcohols were accomplished in water under reflux condition with good yields as green chemistry.
