A novel allylic oxidation using a combination of formic acid and selenium dioxide

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919408010614

A combination of formic acid and selenium dioxide in dioxane has been found to be an efficient system for the allylic oxygenation of olefins, in particular for sterically hindered ones, leading to the corresponding allylic alcohols or formates.
