<p>The invention relates to a method for recovering stable nitroxide radicals, wherein at least a part of a reaction mixture consisting of a solution or suspension, or a filtrate or supernatant of a suspension, in which stable nitroxide radicals are present in non-solid form, is subjected to an azeotropic distillation. The invention further relates to a method for the selective oxidation of compounds which contain at least one hydroxyl group, using stable nitroxide radicals as catalyst, wherein the liquid phase of the mixture containing the reaction products is subjected to an azeotropic distillation, whereafter the nitroxide radical-containing distillate is recirculated to the reaction vessel.</p> |
