Abstract
The oxidation of secondary benzyl alcohols is catalyzed by two palladacycles at atmospheric pressure in PEG-400, a sustainable reaction media. Recycling of the active catalytic species is performed up to the 5th run, and catalyst loadings decreased down to 10−8 mol%, thus achieving unprecedented TON and TOF values. In addition, the same conditions proved to be effective for the aerobic oxidation of benzyl methylene compounds, a scarcely explored process by palladium catalysts.
