%X 1,3,5-Trimethyl pyrazolium tetrafluoroborate room-temperature ionic liquid was prepared and employed for the selective oxidation of alkyl/benzyl alcohols using palladium acetate by stirring at room-temperature in presence of air (oxygen from air). This green procedure gave products in moderate to good yields. Moreover, the synthesized 1,3,5- trimethylpyrazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid could be recycled for at least three runs without the loss of significant activity.
