A mild and chemoselective oxidation of the α-alc. in β-O-4′-ethanoaryl and β-O-4′-glycerolaryl ethers, I [R3 = R4 = R3‘ = R5‘ = H OMe; R3 = R3‘ = R5‘ = H, R4 = OMe; R3 = R4 = R5‘ = H, R3‘ = OMe; R3 = R5‘ = H, R4 = R3‘ = OMe; R3 = R4 = OMe, R3‘ = H, OMe, R5‘ = H; R3 = R3‘ = OMe, R4 = OH, R5‘ = H] and II [ R3 = R4 = R3‘ = OMe, H; R3 = H, R4 = R3‘ = OMe; R3 = R3‘ = OMe, R4 = OH] , resp., has been developed. The benzylic alcs. were selectively dehydrogenated to the corresponding ketones in 60-93 % yield. A one-pot selective route to aryl Et ketones was performed. The catalytic system comprises recyclable heterogeneous palladium, mild reaction conditions, green solvents, and oxygen in air as oxidant. Catalytic amounts of a coordinating polyol were found pivotal for an efficient aerobic oxidation
