Showing papers on "Oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones published in 1996"
TL;DR: In this article, the use of catalysts for benzylic and allylic oxidations, the oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones and the selective decomposition of alkyl hydroperoxides is discussed.
Abstract: Recent, environmentally-driven trends in the manufacture of fine chemicals are reviewed. Comparison of alternative processes on the basis of their atom utilization and E factor (kg byproducts/kg product) i s discussed. The use of chromium-substituted molecular sieves (CrAPO-5 and 11 and Cr silicalite) as recyclable solid catalysts for benzylic and allylic oxidations, the oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones and the selective decomposition of alkyl hydroperoxides, is described. New developments in the use of zeolite-encapsulated metal complexes as solid catalysts for oxidations and reductions are reviewed. The use of palladium(0) trisulfonated triphenylphosphine complex as a catalyst for carbonylation in water is reported. Finally, the use of supported aqueous phase catalysts in various processes, including enantioselective hydrogenation, is briefly reviewed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a variety of bromo allylic alcohols are converted into corresponding vinylic carbonyl compounds and secondary alcohols were oxidised into ketones upon treatment with palladium acetate in the presence of potassium carbonate under the typical Heck reaction conditions.
