Abstract

A new catalytic system for oxidation of alcohols with oxygen catalyzed by N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) combined with HNO3 and CuBr2 has been developed. This system can effectively catalyze oxidation of primary benzylic alcohols to corresponding aldehydes with high selectivities (up to 100 %). A mechanism for the oxidation of alcohols catalyzed by NHPI/HNO3/CuBr2 is proposed.
