^aThe oxidation of benzyl alcohol (R) (1.0 mmol) catalyzed by complex CrLA1 (0.02 mmol) with aqueous H₂O₂ (3.00 mL) in 10 mL acetonitrile for 1–6 h. ^bThe yield based on GC results, selectivity percentage of the target oxide product BA and the other product BZ. ^cThe other side products are mainly of BZ. ^dTON (turnover number) = ratio of moles of product (here oxide) obtained to the moles of catalyst. ^eThe corresponding TOF (turnover frequency) (TON/h) are shown in parentheses (mol (mol catalyst)⁻¹ h⁻¹).
