Polymer Supported Chromium Peroxide Complexes for the Selective Oxidation of Alcohols

Abstract

Poly(2-vinylpyridine)(I) and poly(4-vinylpyridine)(II) supported chromium peroxide reagents are readily prepared and used as mild, efficient, selective and easy to handle oxidizing agents for oxidation of benzylic and allylic alcohols.
