9) General Procedure for the Oxidation of Benzylic or
Allylic Alcohols: A catalytic amount of Pd/C (0.025 equiv)
was added to H O (2 volume). NaBH (0.1 equiv) was

allylic alcohol (1.0 equiv) was added to the resulting
suspension followed by addition of MeOH, EtOH, or i-PrOH

(1 volume) at r.t. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred
vigorously under an oxygen atmosphere (maintained with a
balloon). Alternatively, oxygen gas was bubbled into the
reaction mixture through a long needle with the use of
several balloons. The progress of the oxidation reaction was
monitored by silica gel TLC. The resulting reaction mixture
was neutralized with a dilute HCl solution and the aqueous
layer was extracted with sufficient EtOAc. The organic layer

flash column chromatography (EtOAc–n-hexane = 1:3–1:7).
Reactions were typically run on a 2–3-mmol scale.
