Abstract
A methodology for the aerobic oxidation of organic substrates in the absenc e of any metal catalyst has been established using combined catalytic syste m consisting of N-hydroxyphthalimide and quaternary ammonium bromide. Thus, various hydrocarbons were successfully oxidized under dioxygen atmosphere to the corresponding oxygenated compounds in good selectivities. (C) 1999 E lsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
