Solid-Support-Bound 1-Aminoimidazolium Chlorochromate: A Selective, Efficient and Recyclable Oxidant

Abstract

A series of polymer-bound imidazolium chlorochromates have been synthesised and used as selective oxidants for benzylic and cinnamylic alcohols. Solid-support-bound 1-amino-imidazolium chlorochromate proved to be the most convenient system due to its efficiency, selectivity and ease of recycling the material.
