Quinoxalinium Bromochromate– A New and Efficient Reagent for Oxidation of Alcohols and Bromination of Aromatic Compounds

Abstract

The new mild chromium (VI) oxidizing agent, quinoxalinium bromochromate (QxBC), was prepared and characterized. This new compound is effective in the oxidation of alcohols and in the bromination of aromatic compounds.
