Admirable yields with selectivity were obtained in the oxidation of anthracene, phenanthrene ethylbenzene, ethylbenzene, cyclopentanol, p-methylcyclohexanol, p-methoxy benzaldehyde and p-hydroxy benzaldehyde with in situ generated sodium ferrate in the presence of Cu NPs adsorbed on Al2O3 under microwave irradiation. Present one pot system does not require tedious separation of ferrate and is quicker and environmentally benign.
