Abstract

The oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones using a sub-stoichiometric quantity of an oxoammonium salt bearing the nitrate counterion is reported. When the alcohol substrate is a liquid, the reaction can be performed solvent-free. When using a solid alcohol, the reaction can be performed either using a small volume of dichloromethane as a solvent, or else by leveraging mechanochemical activation. The methodology is applicable to the challenging oxidation of α-trifluoromethyl alcohols to the corresponding trifluoromethyl ketones.
