Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones has been studied in high yields using molecular oxygen and a catalytic amount of 1 in toluene under stirring (ca. 100°C). The reactions of primary alcohols are faster compared to secondary alcohols and the catalyst 1 can be recycled without loss of activity.
