It is the first one in a new series on basic reactions in organic synthesis. It provides plenty of detailed and useful information in the practical aspects of the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones, which is probably the most important reaction in the synthesis of organic compounds UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/b135954 ER -
