Oxidation of sec, sec-1,2-Diols to 1,2-Diketones under Pfitzner-Moffatt-Conditions In contrast to many other oxidation methods, the "Pfitzner-Moffatt" technique converts sec, sec-1,2-diols 1 into 1,2-diketones 2 without any C - C bond cleavage. Other functional groups like oletinic double bonds or esters are not affected under the mild and almost neutral reaction conditions.
