Abstract

Benzyltriphenylphosphonium chlorochromate(VI), [(PhCH2)Ph3P][CrO3Cl], BTriPPCC, is easily synthesized in a nearly quantitative yield by direct reaction of Cr(VI) oxide and benzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride. The complex was characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. The use of phosphonium counter ion, improves the quality of the BTriPPCC crystals. The compound was indeed crystallized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction at 170(2) K. This compound is a versatile reagent for the efficient and selective oxidation of organic substrates, in particular of alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones, in mild conditions. Due to the stability and solubility of BTriPPCC, the reactions can be performed at room temperature and the separation of the products is easy.
