Chromyl chloride solid support

Several references have appeared on the use of solid-phase oxidants. Solid potassium permanganate-copper sulphate mixtures oxidize secondary alcohols to ketones in high yield, and pyridinium chromate or chromic acid on silica gel are described as convenient off-the-shelf reagents for oxidation of both primary and secondary alcohols. Anhydrous chromium trioxide-celite effects similar transformations only when ether is present as co-solvent. An excellent review, with over 400 references, on supported oxidants covers the use of silver carbonate-celite, chromium trioxide-pyridine-celite, ozone-silica, chromyl chloride-silica, chromium trioxide-graphite, manganese dioxide-carbon, and potassium permanganate-molecular sieve.
