Abstract

In recent years, developments in the aerobic oxidation of alcohols have attracted much attention, and a number of methods using various transition-metal catalysts have been reported.[1] In addition, amines can also be oxidized to oximes, imines, amides, nitriles, or azo compounds under aerobic conditions similar to those of alcohol oxidation reactions.[2] Therefore, the direct synthesis of amides from alcohols and amines through selective ...
