Compounds having activated methylene radicals are oxidized to various oxidation products by an improved process comprising contacting the compound with an oxidizing agent and a base of sufficient strength to deprotonate at least one hydrogen from the activated methylene radical in the presence of a catalytic amount of a synergistic combination of elemental carbon and a phase-transfer catalyst. For example, flourene is oxidized to flourenone by contacting the flourene with elemental oxygen and sodium hydroxide in the presence of a catalytic amount of the synergistic combination of charcoal and benzyltriethyl-ammonium chloride.
