Abstract
An efficient, facile, and mild oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones with potassium peroxodisulfate and 2,2,6,6- tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy in the presence of a catalytic amount of iodobenzene is reported. The oxidation proceeded in a mixed solvent to afford carbonyl compounds in moderate to excellent yields. A possible mechanism for the oxidation is proposed.
