ELECTROCHEMICAL AND CHEMICAL OXIDATION OF ALCOHOLS IN A TWO-PHASE SYSTEM USING N-OXOPIPERIDINUM SALT: SYNTHESIS OF 4-CHLOROBUTANAL, FORMYLCYCLOPROPANES, AND m-PHENOXYBENZALDEHYDE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF01150901

Oxidation of 4-chlorobutanol-1, cyclopropylcarbinols, and m-phenoxybenzyl alcohol with electrogenerated bromine, molecular bromine, and sodium hypochlorite using N-oxopiperidinium salt in the two-phase system CH2Cl2-water gave the corresponding carbonyl compounds with good yields.Keywords: indirect electrooxidation, 4-chlorobutanol-1, cyclopropylcarbinols, m-phenoxybenzyl alcohol, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-benzoyloxypiperidine-1-oxide, bromine, sodium hypochloriate, 4-chlorobutanal, formylcyclopropanes, m-phenoxybenzaldehyde.
