Babler oxidation mechanism. The reaction proceeds through the formation of a chromate ester (1) from nucleophilic attack of the chlorochromate by the allylic alcohol.The ester then undergoes a [3,3]-sigmatropic shift to create the isomeric chromate ester (2).
Alcohol oxidation is a collection of oxidation reactions in organic chemistry that convert alcohols to aldehydes, ... Allylic and benzylic alcohols are especially ...
The epoxidation of allylic alcohols is a class of epoxidation reactions in organic chemistry.One implementation of this reaction is the Sharpless epoxidation.Early work showed that allylic alcohols give facial selectivity when using meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) as an oxidant.
The Riley Oxidation is amenable to a variety of carbonyl and olefinic systems with a high degree of regiocontrol based on the substitution pattern of the given system. Ketones with two available α-methylene positions react more quickly at the least hindered position.: [1] Allylic oxidation can be predicted by the substitution pattern on the ...
Allyl alcohols in general are prepared by allylic oxidation of allyl compounds, using selenium dioxide or organic peroxides. Other methods include carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions such as the Prins reaction , the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction , or a variant of the Ramberg-Bäcklund reaction .
The Babler-Dauben oxidation of cyclic tertiary allylic alcohols to cyclic enones using PCC. This type of oxidative transposition reaction has been synthetically utilized, e.g. for the synthesis of morphine. [10] Using other common oxidants in the place of PCC usually leads to dehydration, because such alcohols cannot be oxidized directly.
The Kharasch–Sosnovsky reaction is a method that involves using a copper or cobalt salt as a catalyst to oxidize olefins at the allylic position, subsequently condensing a peroxy ester (e.g. tert-Butyl peroxybenzoate) or a peroxide resulting in the formation of allylic benzoates or alcohols via radical oxidation.

Allylic C-H bonds are susceptible to oxidation. [13] One commercial application of allylic oxidation is the synthesis of nootkatone, the fragrance of grapefruit, from valencene, a more abundantly available sesquiterpenoid: [14] The conversion of valencene to nootkatone is an example of allylic oxidation.
