✦ Synopsis

K2Mn04 oxidized allylic and benzylic alcohols but did not affect saturated alcohols under phase-transfer catalysis condition, whereas a solid mixture of BaMnO4, Al2O3, zylic, and CuS04.5H20 selectively oxidized allylic, benand saturated secondary hydroxy groups to the corresponding carbonyl groups in the presence of saturated primary hydroxy groups.

Although manganate, Mn042-has been known as an oxidizing agent for a long time,l) its utility has been limited in organic synthesis partly because
