Abstract
Aerobic oxidation of various alcohols has been accomplished by using a new catalytic system, N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) combined with Co(ac ac)(3). The oxidation of alcohols by NHPI was found to be markedly enh anced by adding a slight amount of Co(acac)(3) (0.05 equiv. to NHPI). Thus, secondary alcohols and vic-diols which are difficult to be oxidi zed by NHPI alone were smoothly oxidized with molecular oxygen (1 atm) to the corresponding carbonyl compounds under relatively mild conditi ons (65 similar to 75 degrees C).
