A simple and selective method for the oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds is described that occurs on wet alumina supported chromium(VI) oxide under solvent-free conditions and is expedited by microwave irradiation. Aliphatic primary alcohols provide the corresponding esters in moderate yield.
