Abstract: A very convenient methodology to oxidize benzyl alcohols to benzaldehydes (9 examples,
up to 95%) and secondary alcohols to ketones (8 examples, up to 99%) using trichloroisocyanuric acid
in CH2Cl2 / MeCN (1:1) as co-solvent in the presence of water at room temperature is presented in this
study.
