Process for the selective oxidation of alcohols using easily separable nitroxyl radicals

摘要

Selective oxidation of alcohols to ketones with an alkali hypohalide comprises using an insoluble heterogeneous oxidation catalyst or a 4-oxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl 4-oxy-bound to a Merrifield polymer. Selective oxidation of alcohols to ketones with an alkali hypohalide under alkaline conditions comprises using an insoluble heterogeneous oxidation catalyst of formulas (I), (II) or (III) or a 4-oxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl 4-oxy-bound to a Merrifield polymer; n = 3-3000. An Independent claim is included for the compounds per se.
