3,4-Dihydroisoquinolinium Trichloroacetatochromate: A Mild and Effective New Reagent for Oxidation of Alcohols to Carbonyl Compounds and Arenes to Their Quinones

摘要

A new chromium(VI) reagent, 3,4-dihydroisoqinolinium trichloroacetatochromate was prepared by reacting trichloroacetic acid with CrO3 in water. This reagent is suitable to oxidize various primary and secondary alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds and anthracene to antraquinone in a good yields.
