Abstract

A highly active and selective Al-based catalytic Oppenauer (O) oxidation is reported. Quantitative and selective oxidations of a variety of benzylic, propargylic, allylic, and aliphatic primary and secondary alcohols were achieved using nitrobenzaldehyde derivatives as the oxidant and simple aluminum compounds as precatalysts.

  Abstract: 1,1,1-Trifluoroacetone (2a) reacts as a hydride-acceptor in the Oppenauer oxidation of secondary alcohols (1) in the presence of diethylethoxyaluminum. The oxidant allows for selective oxidation of secondary alcohols in the presence of primary alcohols.

  Abstract: Modified aluminum catalyst 2 was found to be highly effective for Oppenauer (OPP) oxidation of alcohols under mild conditions. For example, oxidation of carveol in toluene with t-BuCHO (1.2 equiv) as a hydride acceptor in the presence of 2 (1 mol %) ...
