Oxidative transformation of alcohols and organic halides in aqueous solution†
Abstract
An efficient and new methodology for a one pot conversion of organic halides and alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes or ketones has been developed using quinolinium chlorochromate in an aqueous medium without adding any cosolvent. The same protocol has been applied for the oxidative conversion of 2-(bromomethyl)-5,7-dinitro-1H-indole to its corresponding aldehyde in the presence of sodium hydroxide.
