| Abstract: | The catalytic oxidation of benzyl halides to aldehydes and ketones in aqueous media was studied under relatively mild reaction conditions by using phase-transfer catalyst combined with potassium nitrate and 10% aqueous potassium hydroxide solution. As a result, a simple high-yield procedure has been developed. |
