Abstract
Oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols, using catalytic amounts of TEMPO and tetra-n-butylammonium bromide in combination with periodic acid and wet alumina in dichloromethane is described. This oxidizing system is compatible with a broad range of functional groups and acid-sensitive protecting groups. Chemoselective oxidation of secondary alcohols in the presence of primary alcohols was observed.

- 20 Typical Procedure for the Oxidation of Alcohols (Table 2, Entry 21) Wet alumina was prepared by mixing neutral alumina (50 g, Fluka ref 06300; Brockmann activity 1) with H2O (10 g) and shaking until a free-flowing homogeneous powder was obtained. To a solution of 3-methylhexane-1,3-diol (20a, 0.132 g, 1 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (3 mL) were successively added TEMPO (7.8 mg, 5 mol%), wet alumina (0.913 g), TBAB (16 mg, 5 mol%), and H5IO6 (0.274 g, 1.2 equiv). The brownish suspension was stirred for 5 h at r.t., filtered, and the filtrate was washed with sat. Na2S2O3 aq solution, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (PE–Et2O, 1:2) to give the hydroxyaldehyde 20b as a liquid (94 mg, 72%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, C6D6): δ = 9.57 (t, J = 2.3 Hz, 1 H), 2.43 (s, 1 H), 2.14 (dd, J = 15.8, 2.4 Hz, 1 H), 2.04 (dd, J = 15.8, 2.4 Hz, 1 H), 1.32–1.09 (m, 4 H), 1.02 (s, 3 H), 0.8 (t, J = 7.1 Hz, 3 H). 13C NMR (75 MHz, C6D6): δ = 202.6, 71.5, 54.2, 45.3, 27.3, 17.3, 14.6. ESI-HRMS: m/z [M – H]– calcd for C7H13O2: 129.0916; found: 129.0918.
