Liquid phase oxidation of tetralin with clean air were carried out utilizing complexes composed of various heterocyclic base and CrO3 in N,N-dialkylamides. In the CrO3-N,N-dialkylacetamide complex catalyzed oxidations of tetralin at 90℃, the maximum conversion of tetralin to the products and selectivity of α-tetralone were 35.2% and 96.1%, respectively. Under this condition, however, negligible amount of α-tetralol was determined.
