The use of pyridinium fluorochromate (PFC) supported on TriSyl silica gel for oxidation reactions

Pyridinium fluorochromate supported on TriSyl silicas was prepared by co-adsorption. The supported reagent was used in equimolar quantity to oxidise some organic compounds with good yields and complete selectivity. These proce- dures are mild, efficient, safe and the work-ups are very convenient.
