Bis(methanesulfonyl) peroxide
Recent Literature
The use of bis(methanesulfonyl) peroxide as an oxidant enables a selective
synthesis of benzylic alcohols without further oxidation of alcohols to ketones.
A proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism (PCET) may account for the
difference in reactivity.
