## Abstract A metalβfree catalytic system consisting of an aldehyde and __N__βhydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) for the selective oxidation of tertiary alkylaromatics with molecular oxygen has been developed. Cumene was oxidized efficiently to the corresponding hydroperoxide under mild conditions. The mole
Alkylbenzenes are selectively functionalised to the corresponding acetates by nitric aerobic oxidation catalysed by N-hydroxyphthalimide and iodine. With cyclohexane the oxidation leads to a mixture of cyclohexyl acetate and trans-2-iodocyclohexyl acetate. The mechanism is discussed.
