A variety of alkyl-arenes and cyclohexane were converted to the corresponding ketones with NaCIO as the oxidant in the presence of l-glycyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride-copper(Ⅱ) complex.This method contains simplified product isolation and catalyst recycling,affording benzylic C-H oxidation of alkyl-arenes imparting high yield of ketones.Furthermore,complex could be reused seven times without a significant loss of its catalytic activity.
