Benzylic alcohols can be dehydrogenated to carbonyl compounds by phase transfer catalyzed reaction (8 M NaOH, benzene, and PhCH2N(C2H5)3+Cl- as the catalyst) in the presence of catalytic amounts of chlorodicarbonylrhodium(I) dimer.Evidence is presented for the intermediacy of ortho-metalated complexes in these reactions.
