Procedure

A mixture of 5 mmol of 1-phenylethanol, 0.5 mmol of N-hydroxyphthalimide, and 5 ml of acetonitrile was stirred at 75° C. in an oxygen atmosphere (1 atm) for 24 hours. An iodometric analysis of a reaction mixture revealed that hydrogen peroxide was formed in yield of 32% (selectivity: 84%). Separately, a gas chromatographic analysis of the reaction mixture revealed that the conversion rate from 1-phenylethanol was 38%, and acetophenone was formed in yield of 36%.
