Abstract Oxidation of benzyl halides to benzaldehydes is an important synthetic reaction for which a number of procedures is available. Of these, the Sommelet1 and Krohnke2–4 reactions are the most straightforward and commonly used, and while each has certain limitations, one or other can almost always be applied successfully to any given benzyl halide. Other procedures such as the Kornblum method5,6 and oxidations with pyridine N-oxides,7 tertiary aliphatic amine N-oxides8 and the sodium salt of 2-nitropropane9,10 have all been utilised with varying degrees of success, but these methods offer no significant advantage over the Sommelet or Krohnke reactions in terms of manipulative simplicity, economy, or yields of pure aldehydes obtained.

Abstract Oxidation of mono and di-arylcarbinols to benzaldehydes and benzophenones is a superficially prosaic process for which a wide variety of oxidants is generally believed to be available. From an experimental point of view, however, most of the procedures that have been described for these transformations are not entirely satisfactory (see Table I). There appear to be only two techniques, namely oxidation by ceric ammonium nitrate13 and by dinitrogen tetroxide, 14,15 which satisfy the criteria of generality, manipulative simplicity, and the realisation of high yields of pure products within a reasonable reaction time.
