Abstract

in situ prepared sodium ferrate oxidizes benzyl alcohol exclusively to benzaldehyde in acetonitrile medium. Under these conditions, addition of iridium(III) chloride as a homogeneous catalyst showed a negative affect on the yield. Change in the medium from organic to aqueous changes the product exclusively to benzoic acid and the addition of iridium(III) chloride increases the yield to a great extent. Thus only by changing the reaction conditions, product of oxidation can be monitored

Keywords
