After filtration, the reaction mixture was purified by solvent extraction with dichloromethane (3 x), and the solvent was evaporated under vacuum. The residue thus obtained was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using ethyl acetate/hexane (1:4) as eluent. Evaporation of the solvent yielded the corresponding carbonyl compound. The reaction times and yields of the products are presented in Table 1. The products were identified by comparing their physical and spectroscopic data with those of authentic compounds reported in the literature. In case of benzylic alcohols the corresponding aldehydes were obtained when the substrate (1 mmol) was treated with MPHT (1.2 mmol) in refluxing acetonitrile without using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant.
