Electronic tuning: Nitroxyl radical 1 is shown to be an efficient catalyst for the oxidation of secondary alcohols, and promotes oxidation through an oxoammonium species which is highly reactive because of the adjacent electron-withdrawing ester groups. Chemoselective oxidation of benzylic alcohols in the presence of aliphatic alcohols is observed and is proposed to proceed by a rate-determining hydride transfer. Copyright
