The Mn(acac)3—RCN—CCl4 system as a new efficient reagent for the oxidation of secondary alcohols into ketones

  • Published:
Russian Chemical Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

The Mn(acac)3—RCN—CCl4 system was found to be efficient for the oxidation of secondary alcohols into the corresponding ketones in 80—93% yields. The oxidation proceeds through the formation of alkyl hypochlorites, which are generated from CCl4 and the alcohols in the presence of the Mn(acac)3—RCN catalytic system (R = Me, Et, and Ph).
