Abstract

Expeditious and benign methods for primary alcohol- carboxylicacid conversions with TEMPO were developed in abiphasic system composed of aslightlymiscible ether (THP) and aqueous layer. Easily available co-oxidants such as Py-HBr3, Bu4NBr3, and electrooxidation were successfully applied to generate N-oxoammonium species as a recyclable catalyst.
