Oxidation of benzyl ethers via phase transfer catalysis

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908086246

A convenient procedure for the oxidation of benzyl ethers to benzoate esters is reported. Potassium permanganate in dichloromethane with phase transfer catalysis by triethylbenzylammonium chloride (TEBAC) affords products regiospecifically in fair to excellent yields.
