Pyridinium Fluorochromate or Benzyltrimethylammonium Chlorochromate for Selective Oxidation of Alcohols

Abstract

Abstract Selective oxidation of secondary alcohols in the presence of primary ones has been achieved by the following sequences, (1) selective protection of primary alcohols with t-BuMe2SiCl, (2) oxidation of secondary alcohols with title reagents, and (3) deprotection of primary hydroxyls.
