Oxidation of Benzylic Alcohols to Aromatic Aldehydes by DMSO/Water/I2: A Chemoselective Oxidation

One of the most important approaches to the preparation of aldehydes from benzylic alcohols is the use of DMSO-based systems, including DMSO/oxalyl chloride/Et3N (Swern oxidation),1,2 DMSO/DCC/H+ (...
