The screening of metal chlorides and metal acetylacetonates as catalysts for the oxidation of 1‐indanol by sodium percarbonate (at reflux in 1,2‐dichloroethane in the presence of small amounts of Adogen 464) has been carried out. The efficiency of the process depended on the nature of the transition metal and its oxidation state but, except for iron, was not greatly influenced by the nature of the ligands. Good conversions and yields have been obtained using PdCl 2 , RhCl 3 , RuCl 3 and, particularly, MoO 2 (acac) 2 as catalysts.
