Abstract
A simple and general method for the oxidation of benzylic azides to aldehydes using the inexpensive and environmentally benign iron (III) chloride as catalyst with 30% aqueous H2O2 as oxidant is described. Broad substrate scope and high tolerance against several functional groups make the process synthetically useful.
