Ar. Hajipour et al., Oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds under solvent-free conditions using permanganate supported on alumina, CHEM LETT, (2), 1999, pp. 99-100
A manupulatively simple and rapid method for oxidation of alcohols to the c
orresponding carbonyl compounds is described. The reaction is conduced unde
r solventless 'dry' conditions using alumina-supported permanganate.
