A Facile and Efficient Catalytic System for the Oxidation of Alcohols with Gold(III) and Ionic Liquid Immobilized TEMPO under Solvent-Free Conditions

Abstract

A facile and efficient protocol for the oxidation of alcohols with gold(III) and ionic liquid immobilized TEMPO is described. This catalytic system is highly selective for the oxidation of primary and secondary benzylic alcohols, heterocyclic alcohols, and allylic alcohols affording the respective carbonyl compounds in good to excellent yields.

Key words

facile catalytic system - oxidation of alcohols - gold(III) - ionic liquid immobilized TEMPO - solvent-free
