1-(Benzoylamino)-3-methylimidazolium chlorochromate (BAMICC), a new selective and mild reagent for the oxidation of allylic and benzylic alcohols

摘要

A new mild chromium(VI) oxidizing reagent, the 1-(benzoylamino)-3-methylimidazolium chlorochromate (BAMICC) has been prepared as a stable yellow-orange solid which selectively oxidizes allylic and benzylic alcohols, including those bearing basic nitrogens, to carbonyl compounds.
