A simple, mild method for the oxidation of α-trifluoromethyl alcohols to trifluoromethyl ketones (TFMKs) using the oxoammonium salt 4-acetylamino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxoammonium tetrafluoroborate (1) is described. Under basic conditions, oxidation proceeds rapidly and affords good to excellent yields of TFMKs, without concomitant formation of the hydrate. The byproduct of the oxidation, 4-acetylamino-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (1c), is easily recovered and can be conveniently reoxidized to regenerate the oxoammonium salt.

Hydride abstraction represents a promising yet underexplored approach in the functionalization of C-H bonds. In this work, we report the oxidation of α-C-H bonds of ethers via oxoammonium catalysis using 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (CPBA) as the terminal chemical oxidant or by means of electrochemistry. Mechanistic studies revealed intricate equilibria and interconversion events between various catalytic intermediates in the presence of CPBA, which alone however was incompetent to drive catalytic turnover.

On-DNA carboxylic acids are important synthetic intermediates in the synthesis of DNA-encoded library (DEL) structures. Herein, we report an oxoammonium salt-mediated, room temperature, solution-phase oxidation of DNA-linked primary alcohols into carboxylic acids. This method exhibits a wide substrate scope, encompassing aliphatic, benzylic, and heterobenzylic alcohols, and is compatible with DEL encoding strategies.

Aromatic diazenes are often prepared by oxidation of the corresponding hydrazides using stoichiometric quantities of nonrecyclable oxidants. We developed a convenient alternative protocol for the oxidation of aromatic hydrazides using Bobbitt's salt (), a metal-free, recyclable, and commercially available oxoammonium reagent. A variety of aryl hydrazides were oxidized within 75 min at room temperature using the developed protocol.

Nidulaxanthone A is a dimeric, dihydroxanthone natural product that was isolated in 2020 from . Structurally, the compound features an unprecedented heptacyclic 6/6/6/6/6/6/6 ring system which is unusual for natural xanthone dimers. Biosynthetically, nidulaxanthone A originates from the monomer nidulalin A via stereoselective Diels-Alder dimerization.

Article Synopsis
- The study presents a new metal-free method for oxygenating aromatic C-H bonds using oxoammonium salts and water as the oxygen source, which could be beneficial for industrial and organic synthesis.
- Various alkyl-substituted phenols were successfully converted into benzoquinones with high yields ranging from 59% to 98%.
- The research suggests that the proposed mechanism involves an electrophilic aromatic substitution and could pave the way for developing more transition-metal-free catalytic techniques in the future.
