OxidationO 0212 Wet Carbon-Based Solid Acid/Potassium Permanganate as an Efficient Hetero-

geneous Reagents for Oxidation of Alcohols under Mild Conditions. — Primary alcohols are oxidized to aldehydes without overoxidation to carboxylic acids. Second-ary alcohols afford ketones. The chemoselectivity of this method is proved by selective conversion of benzyl alcohol (Ia) in the presence of cyclohexanol (IIIa). — (SHOKROLAHI, A.; ZALI*, A.; KESHAVARZ, M. H.; Chin. Chem.
