Abstract
Various allylic and benzylic substrates were selectively oxidized to the corresponding enones in good yields using sodium chlorite, either in combination with tert-butyl hydroperoxide in stoichiometric conditions, or associated with N-hydroxyphthalimide as catalyst. These oxidation reactions were effectively and economically performed under mild, transition-metal free conditions and therefore the dual challenge of cost effectiveness and benign nature of the processes was met with.
