Abstract
The electrochemically one-electron oxidized copper(II) complex of N, N′-bis (2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzyl)-1,2-ethylenediamine catalyses, in the presence of KOH at room temperature, the oxidation of primary alcohols into aldehydes (turnovers >30); secondary alcohols are not oxidized under the same conditions.Keywords
