A metal-free strategy has been developed for α-benzoxylation of benzylic alcohols with acids or aldehydes. The reaction proceeds via sequential oxidation and α-benzoxylation in one pot. Importantly, the reactions are performed in metal-free condition and utilize cheap aqueous TBHP as an oxidant, affording α-benzoxy ketones in moderate to good yields.
