PURPOSE:To oxidize efficiently an org. compound by an electrode reaction under mild conditions while saving energy by using N-hydroxyphthalimide as a mediator. CONSTITUTION:An org. compound such as primary or secondary alcohol, ether, a compound having a double bond or an aromatic compound having a side chain is oxidized by an electrode reaction in the presence of N-hydroxyphthalimide as a mediator. Since the reaction potential can be dropped, the reaction conditions can be made extremely mild, so a side reaction is hardly caused, and a by- product is hardly produced. The mediator is repeatedly used and has remarkably high turnover as an electron carrier.
