Abstract

A novel and practical oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds using NaOCl in the presence of catalytic amounts of imide compound and nitroxyl radical has been developed. A wide variety of aliphatic, benzylic primary alcohols, and secondary alcohols were oxidized to afford the corresponding aldehydes and ketones in up to 98% yield without undesired halogenation on aromatic rings or double bonds. The oxidation safely proceeded not only in the presence of K₂CO₃ but also by a slow addition of NaOCl without tedious pH adjustment.
