Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>A non‐hygroscopic tetraphenylborate salt of <italic>N</italic>‐methylmorpholine‐<italic>N</italic>‐oxide (NMO) is reported (NMO<bold>⋅</bold>TPB), which modulates the standard Ley–Griffith oxidation such that benzylic and allylic alcohols are oxidised selectively. An attractive feature of this new protocol is that anhydrous conditions are not required for this selective tetra‐<italic>n</italic>‐propylammonium perruthenate (TPAP) oxidation, superseding the requirement of molecular sieves.</p> </abstract>
