The use of micelles was investigated for various organic reactions: oxidation of alcohols with sodium hypochlorite in micelles, oxidation of alcohols with hexadecyltrimethylammonium chromate as micelle, and conversion of primary alcohols to 1-chloroalkanes by aqueous hydrogen chloride in the presence of micelles. In all cases, product isolation was simple and satisfactory yields were obtained.
