Catalytic aerobic oxidation of allylic alcohols to carbonyl compounds under mild conditions

Abstract

A new catalytic aerobic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes under green conditions was developed (room temperature and pressure, water solution, open vials). The water-soluble platinum(II) tetrasulfophthalocyanine (PtPcS) catalyst showed the best selectivity for carbonyl derivatives, and in particular for α,β-unsaturated alcohols; the reactions are slow.
