Abstract
Oxidation of benzyl alcohol with the palladium(II) tetraaqua complex under argon gives toluene along with benzaldehyde. A scheme of the redox transfor mations of benzyl alcohol is proposed, involving a catalytic cycle. The hyd rogenolysis of benzyl alcohol to toluene occurs via formation of palladium hydride.
