The use of polymeric oxidizing agents simplifies routine oxidation of reactions because it eliminates the traditional purification. In this article, the use of the cross‐linked poly (4‐vinylpyridine)‐supported potassium ferrate as an effective mild polymeric oxidizing agent is described. This reagent is capable of oxidizing organic compounds and can be used as a versatile reagent in organic synthesis. Primary and secondary benzylic and allylic alcohols are converted selectively to their carbonyl compounds, and hydroquinone to the 1, 4‐benzoquinone. This polymeric reagent seems to be nontoxic and nonpollutant. Based on our observation during the study, the polymeric reagent is stable and can be stored for months without losing its activity. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011
