Allylic
and
benzylic
alcohol
can
be
readily
oxidized
under
mild
conditions.
Manganese
dioxide,
MnO2,
is
a
mild
oxidizing
agent
that
selectively
oxidizes
primary
or
secondary
aalylic
and
benzylic
alcohols.
Primary
alcohols
yield
aldehydes
and
secondary
alcohols
form
ketones.
The
mechanism
is
quite
complex
requiring
some
radical
intermediate
formation.
