Showing papers on "Oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones published in 2002"
TL;DR: These findings are rationalized by proposing models for the diastereomeric intermediates between (R)-[and (S)]-1-phenylethanol and the catalyst Fmoc-TOAC-L-(alphaMe)Val-NHiPr, based on the X-ray diffraction structure of the latter.
Abstract: The oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones by use of aliphatic nitroxyl radicals, such as TEMPO, as catalysts is a well known reaction which involves in the oxidation path an N-oxoammonium salt originated from the corresponding nitroxyl radical. Complex chiral nitroxyl molecules have been used as catalysts to induce enantioselective oxidation reactions [1].
