Description

Bismuth(III) salts are efficient catalysts for the selective allylic oxidation using tert-butyl hydroperoxide. BiCl3 is especially effective and can be easily recovered and reused as BiOCl. Using BiCl3/K-10 as catalyst, an increase in the reaction rate was observed. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6THS-4FM3WXK-3/1/d89629a08a7ed175593fb6938b963a34
