โฆ Synopsis
A recurring problem in synthesis has been the low selectivity of the methods available for the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes. As a result a number of sophisticated procedures have been developed (for example those based on dimethylsulphoxidel", chromium trioxide3'4'5 or ruthenium tetroxide6) but none are totally satisfactory. This paper describes a method using potassium dichromate and a phase transfer catalyst which is generally applicable to acid stable alcohols and which is both simple and rapid.

Successful synergetic combination of the electron-transfer catalyst, TPPMn, and the phase-transfer catalyst, TOMA, in the oxidation of alcohols or hydrocarbons were reported. We have already reported that ethers or alcohols were very readily (within a few minutes at room temperature) oxidized by a
