Fast oxidation of secondary alcohols by the bromate-bromide system using cyclic microwave heating in acidic water

We report an improved, gentle, cyclic microwave activation technique for the oxidation of secondary alcohols using nonhazardous hypobromous acid (BrOH) as the reagent in acidic water. Several aliphatic and aromatic secondary alcohols were successfully oxidized to the corresponding ketones using this technique in high yields and with only minor amounts of side products.

Preparation of polystyrene-supported soluble palladacycle catalyst for Heck and Suzuki reactions

A polystyrene-supported palladium complex soluble in tetrahydrofuran and N,N-dimethylacetamide and precipitated in diethyl ether or acetonitrile was prepared from two routes as an excellent and recyclable palladacycle catalyst for carbon-carbon bond formation in Heck and Suzuki reactions to give high yields of the desired products.
