✦ Synopsis
Sodium hypochlorite in acetic acid solution selectively oxidizes secondary alcohols to ketones in the presence of primary alcohols and converts aldehydes to methyl esters in the added presence of methanol.
Recently, we reported a convenient and inexpensive procedure for the oxidation of secondary
