giving piperonal 2l, an important fragrance and a synthetic precursor
..., in quasiquantitative yield."

"oxidation by chemical manganese dioxide.
part 1. facile oxidation of benzylic alcohols in hexane"
masao hirano, sigetake yakaba, hideki chikamori,
james h. clark, takashi morimoto
abstract: an inexpensive, stable, commercially available reagent, chemical
manganese dioxide, can be used for the oxidation of a wide variety of
benzylic alcohols and the C-C bond cleavage of aromatic diols in hexane
under relatively mild conditions.

"solvent free permanganate oxidations"
ahmad shaabani, donald g lee
abstract: the oxidations of organic compounds by permanganate under solvent free con-
ditions have been studied. thiols and primary aromatic amines undergo oxidative coupling
reactions to give disulfides and diazenes, respectively, sulfides are oxidized to sulfones,
primary and secondary alcohols are converted to aldehydes and ketones, 1,4-diols and
cyclic ethers give lactones and arenes are oxidized to the corresponding alpha-ketones.
the experimental procedure is simple and the products are easily isolated in good yields.

"SILICA GEL SUPPORTED JONES REAGENT (SJR):
A SIMPLE AND EFFICIENT REAGENT FOR OXIDATION
OF BENZYL ALCOHOLS TO BENZALDEHYDES"
mohammed hashmat ali, candace j wiggin
abstract: Jones reagent supported on silica gel (SJR) has been used for
oxidation of benzyl alcohols to the corresponding benzaldehydes in high yields
utilizing organic solvent. This newly developed reagent is easy to prepare and
use. SJR is also safer than the traditional Jones reagent.

While we're at it I may as well add the following refs on MnO2 oxidns:
* I.M. Goldman, J. Org. Chem.,34 (1969) 1979
* A. J. Fatiadi, Synthesis, 1976, 65
(I haven't looked at any of these so I dunno if they're any good)

Can someone give me or tell me where to find this ref:

It would be better if someone just gave me the searchable database link so I could look them up on my own. Thanks

tryptamine_king: I don't think you want that one, it is about making exotic Rhenium/Cymene ligands, and then use them for dehydrogenation of alcohols to aldehydes.

thank you sir, you have saved this new bee's ass. I read the ref you mentioned and it looked great. im just beginning in chem and I could understand everything discussed in it. hell yeah. thanks again.

Iff you ask mee, the one and only way to convert bezylic alcohol to aldehyde is with MnO2, easy, yeald kvatitative and only OTC chemical's are used.

If IBX (o-iodoxy benzoic acid) can be had, it is the best. Simply heat in EtOAc @ 95 deg C for 3 hours of so depending on the alcohol and you just have to cool, filter IBX and evaporate solvent to get your aldehyde in extremely high yields (80-98%).
This works for substituted benzyl alcohols (piperonyl alcohol and such...) but not benzyl alcohol itself. In that case, it makes benzoic acid , but for the most part it will work on any other benzyl alcohol.
respect...
