Nickel-catalyzed benzylic oxidation with NaOCl

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908086219

Ni(bpy)₂Cl₂ has been found to be an efficient catalyst for the oxidation of various alkylbenzenes with hypochlorite. Substituted toluenes having electron withdrawing group at 4-position were oxidized to the corresponding substituted benzoic acids in excellent yields.
