An alcohol (1.0 mmol) in 2 mL CH2Cl2, KBr (40 mg,
0.3 mmol) and PS-TEMPO 4 (2.0 mmol/g loading, 13 mg,
2.5 mol%) were added to a round-bottom flask. The reac-
tion mixture was stirred at 08C before addition of 0.8 mL
NaOCl (10%) and NaHCO3 (40 mg, 50 mgmLÀ1 bleach).
The resulting suspension was stirred at 08C for 30 min.The
reaction mixture was filtered, washed with CH2Cl2, dried
over MgSO4 and concentrated under vacuum to afford the
corresponding aldehyde.

4-Methylbenzyl alcohol (366 mg, 3 mmol) in 6 mL CH2Cl2,
KBr (120 mg 1.0 mmol) and PS-TEMPO 4 (4.0 mmol/load-
ing, 23 mg, 2.5 mol%) were added to a round-bottom flask.
The reaction mixture was stirred at 08C before addition of
2.4 mL NaOCl (10%) and NaHCO3 (120 mg, 50 mgmLÀ1
bleach).The resulting suspension was shaken at 0 8C for 1 h.
Then the reaction mixture was filtered, extracted with
CH2Cl2 (210 mL), washed with a saturated NaHCO3 solu-
tion (5 mL) and concentrated under vacuum to afford 4-
methylbenzaldehyde.PS-TEMPO was washed with water
and CH2Cl2 and reused without further purification.
