Abstract

Various arylalkanes such as fluorenes, xanthene, anthrone, 9,10-dihydroanthracene, and diphenylmethane are effectively transformed into the corresponding aryl ketones, while amino and aldehyde functionalities remain intact, under air in the presence of cesium carbonate.

Key words

aerobic oxidation - oxygenation - arylalkanes - aryl ketones - cesium carbonate
