A variety of alkyl-arenes and cyclohexane were converted to the corresponding ketones with NaClO as the oxidant in the presence of 1-glycyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride-copper(II) complex. This method contains simplified product isolation and catalyst recycling, affording benzylic C-H oxidation of alkyl-arenes imparting high yield of ketone. Furthermore, complex could be reused seven times without a significant loss of its catalytic activity.
