Abstract

We have developed a new chromium based reagent ‘DABCO−bis-CC' for the straightforward oxidation of alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds with high efficiency. The present results demonstrate a broad range of alcohols including primary, secondary, aliphatic, benzylic and heterocyclic alcohols are tolerated as substrates at room temperature.

Keywords: Oxidation, chromium, DABCO-bis-CC, alcohol, ketones, aldehyde.
