and good to excellent yields of desired products are advantages of this
method.
GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR THE
OXIDATION OF ALKYLBENZENES
To a solution of substrate (1 mmol) in CH3CN/H2O (5/1, 10 mL) in a 50 mL
round-bottomed flask equipped with a condencer and a magnetic stirrer and
under reflux condition was added 3,6-bis(triphenylphosphonium) cyclo-
hexene peroxodisulfate (2 mmol) in small portions over (22–45) min. The
progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC (eluent; CCl4/CH3CO2Et:
6/1). After completion of the reaction, the mixture was filtered and the
solvent was evaporated. The resulted crude material was purified on a
silica-gel plate with appropriate solvent. Pure carbonyl compounds were
obtained in 55–95% yields (Table 1).
