Abstract

Abstract Primary and secondary alcohols are oxidized to aldehydes and ketones, respectively, under anaerobic conditions in DMF at 80 C, in the presence of a base and catalytic amounts of Pd (OAc) 2 and p-benzoquinone. The latter oxidizes the transient Pd (0) formed in the catalytic cycle to Pd (II) and p-hydroquinone is re-oxidized electrochemically.
