Abstract

The oxidation of alcohols into aldehydes and ketones is of paramount importance in synthetic organic chemistry. 1 The plethora of reagents that have been developed to accomplish this reaction is testimony to its importance. 2 Unfortunately, one or more equivalents of these, often hazardous or toxic, oxidizing agents are usually required. From an economical and environmental viewpoint, catalytic oxidation processes are thus ...
