摘要

Abstract A procedure for the copper-catalyzed selective oxidation of primary alcohols to esters and aldehydes was developed. Under solvent-free conditions, self-oxidative esterification and cross-esterification of benzyl alcohols with various aliphatic alcohols proceed smoothly to give the corresponding esters in good yields. If DMF was used as a solvent, the benzyl alcohols were selectively converted into the corresponding aldehydes ...
