Abstract

Despite their obvious economical and ecological importance, few catalytic systems are available for the transformation of alcohols into aldehydes and ketones, using molecular oxygen or air as the ultimate, stoichiometric oxidant. 5 Moreover, most of the currently available catalytic oxidation processes suffer from severe limitations, being usually only effective with reactive alcohols, such as benzylic and allylic ones, or requiring high pressures, temperatures, and catalyst ...
