Copper(I) Chloride/Kieselguhr: a Versatile Catalyst for Oxidation of Alkyl Halides and Alkyl Tosylates to the Carbonyl Compounds

Abstract

Copper(I) Chloride adsorbed on Kieselguhr in the presence of oxygen catalyses oxidation of alkyl halides and alkyl tosylates to the aldehydes and ketones in high yields.
