Abstract

A practical, three-step synthetic route to 9-azabicyclo [3.3. 1] nonane N-oxyl (ABNO, 3), an unhindered, stable class of nitroxyl radical, has been developed. ABNO exhibits a highly active nature compared with TEMPO in the catalytic oxidation of alcohols to their corresponding carbonyl compounds.
