The catalytic oxidation of benzyl halides to aldehydes and ketones in aqueous media was studied under relatively mild reaction conditions by using phase-transfer catalyst combined with potassium nitrate and 10% aqueous potassium hydroxide solution. As a result, a simple high-yield procedure has been developed. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
CERIUM (IV) AMMONIUM NITRATE CATALYSED PHOTOCHEMICAL AUTOXIDATION OF ALKYLBENZENES

The autoxidation of alkylbenzenes can be promoted photochemically in the presence of catalytic amounts of cerium (IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) under very mild conditions, the efficiency of the process being significantly increased by added acids.It is suggested that the reaction is promoted by NO3 radicals formed in the light induced decomposition of CAN and that Ce(III) may be reoxidized to Ce(IV) by benzylperoxy radicals.
