23. (b) In further studies we will investigate the substitution of benzyl alcohols as substrates by their corresponding methyl-arene counterparts. This change will probably need at least one oxidation step, mediated by a radical reaction, e.g. the formation of benzylic radicals applying Co(III) as co-oxidant.
