Article Synopsis
- A new sustainable protocol was developed for oxidizing activated alcohols to carbonyl compounds using CuCl/TEMPO/TMEDA as a catalyst in water or a low melting mixture (LMM) of d-fructose-urea.
- This process is efficient, operating at mild temperatures (room temperature or 40°C), and can achieve yields up to 98% in just 4 hours when using the LMM.
- The methodology allows for one-pot transformations that convert primary alcohols into valuable secondary alcohols or nitroalkenes by combining oxidation with nucleophilic additions or nitroaldol reactions.
