2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (3.57 g, 20.7 mmol) was added
slowly, the flask was sealed with a drying tube, and stirred for 3 h.

(1 mgmL per alcohol) was analyzed by GC-FID as well as
GC-MS. In the starting mixture all alcohols could be
separated and identified by their mass spectra. Following
treatment with resin 2 for 2 h, GC analysis revealed the
complete disappearance of all of the alcohol precursors. All
but one of the expected aldehyde, ketone, lactone, or dione
products could be separated and identified; 8b and 12b co-
eluted, whereas 16b was not detected at all. The concen-
tration of products with a low-boiling point eluting early in the
GC was reduced, whereas the concentration of the high-
boiling aldehydes and ketones remained stable in the complex
mixture.

After 5 min the solution was added to resin 1 (1 equiv) swollen in dry

In summary, the reported polymer-bound oxoammonium
reagent should be of great value in polymer-supported
transformations in solution, in automated parallel synthesis
operations, and in flow-through reactors in up-scaled produc-
tion processes. Herein we have only considered the preformed
oxoammonium salts as reactive species. The potential of the
TEMPO ± resin should, however, be exploitable as well as in
Freshly prepared oxoammonium resin 2 (5 equiv as calculated from
