Abstract
[reaction: see text] A new protocol for the oxidation of primary and secondary allyl and benzyl alcohols at room temperature and using 1 atm of air is described. The procedure uses low loadings of copper salts and osmium tetroxide, which is activated with quinuclidine and prereduced with an alkene. Chemoselectivity for allyl and benzyl alcohols is very high, no overoxidation is observed, and the reaction takes place under neutral conditions.
