ANODIC OXIDATION OF COMPOUNDS HAVING BENZYLIC OR ALLYLIC CARBON AND α-CARBON TO HETERO ATOM USING N-HYDROXYPHTHALIMIDE AS A MEDIATOR

Abstract

Benzylic, allylic carbons and the carbon α to hetero atoms are electrochemically oxidized to the corresponding carbonyl group in the presence of N-hydroxyphthalimide under mild conditions.
