Abstract

The oxidation of alcohols into aldehydes and ketones is of paramount importance in organic chemistry and numerous reagents have been reported to accomplish this transformation efficiently and selectively.[1] However, most of these oxidants are either toxic, hazardous, or required in large excess. From an economical and environmental viewpoint, catalytic oxidations are particularly interesting,[2] and major efforts have been devoted over the last ...
