Catalytic oxidation of alcohols into aldehydes and ketones by anosmium-copper bifunctional system using molecular oxygen

Coleman, KS; Coppe, M; Thomas, C; Osborn, JA

Abstract

The oxidation of allylic and benzylic alcohols to aldehydes can be carried out at room temperature as low as 25 degrees C with molecular oxygen, in the presence of the bifunctional osmium-copper system OsO4-CuCl acting as the catalyst.
