Abstract
The present invention relates, in part, to an improved process for oxidation of alcohols containing oxidatively sensitive functional groups, using inexpensive reagents under mild reaction conditions to provide high yields of carbonyl products such as aldehydes or ketones. In certain embodiments, an aldehyde product is obtained by contacting an oxidatively sensitive alcohol, such as an alkenol, with an oxidant and a TEMPO catalyst under conditions sufficient to convert the alkenol to the aldehyde.
