Abstract
Selective oxidation of benzylic hydrocarbons to the carbonyl compounds was achieved using a racemic Mn(III) salen complex 1 as the catalyst. The reaction proceeds in good yields under mild reaction conditions u sing iodosobenzene or aq. sodium hypochlorite as a stoichiometric oxid ant. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
