Abstract
Benzyl alcohol is oxidized to benzaldehyde when heated in sulfolane in the presence of N-benzylnicotinamide and N-benzylpyridinium salts. The oxidation is accelerated in the presence microwaves. Oxidations with related pyridiniums suggest that these oxidations could occur via retro-ene reactions.
