✦ Synopsis
Selective oxidation of secondary and benzylic alcohols was efficiently accomplished by H 2 O 2 under solvent-free condition catalyzed by FeBr 3 . Secondary alcohols are selectively oxidized even in the presence of primary ones. This method is high yielding, safe and operationally simple.

## Abstract The direct substitution of alcohols and β‐dicarbonyl compounds was catalyzed with FeCl~3~ under solvent‐free conditions. The catalyst loading could be decreased to 0.01 mol% at high activities. It was shown that the reaction proceeded in two steps via the etherification of the alcohols.
