Abstract

The oxidation of secondary alcohols to carbonyl compounds is an important synthetic transformation 1., and and many stoichiometric oxidants notably chromium(VI) and manganese reagents, producing copious amounts of heavy metal wastes, have been used to accomplish this reaction. 2., and Molecular oxygen is an attractive oxidant and the development of synthetic methodologies using molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant is a rewarding goal both from economic and ...
