Synthesis of lactones via the oxidation of α,ω-diols with sodium bromite and alumina under water free conditions

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919808005081

Oxidation of α,ω-diols with sodium bromite can be readily performed in dichloromethane to afford lactones in fair good yield under mild and neutral conditions with the aid of chromatographic acidic alumina.
