In this study, some alkyl arenes such as fluorene and ethyl benzene have been oxidized to the corresponding carbonyl compounds. 1,4-Diol and cyclic ethers give lactones and lactams, which are converted into corresponding imides under these conditions. This paper describes a simple and general procedure that can be used for the oxidative transformation of many organic functional groups.
