Aromatic hydrocarbons are oxidized with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of catalytic amounts of VO{sub 3}{sup -} and pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid into phenols (provided excess hydrocarbon is used) or into quinones (at high H{sub 2}O{sub 2} concentrations). 2-Propanol, ethanol, cyclohexanol, and benzyl alcohol are transformed into the corresponding aldehydes and ketones under the same conditions (without a solvent or in MeCN).
