A new TEMPO-mediated catalytic oxidation method in combination with Py·HBr3 (stoichiometric) is developed for oxidation of secondary alcohols to the corresponding ketones. The performance of this oxidizing system is better compared with that of TEMPO method combined with R4NBr3. Poly(4-vinylpyridine)·HBr3 can be used in place of Py·HBr3. The electron-withdrawing substituent at the C-4 position of TEMPO increases the reactivity of TEMPO significantly in the oxidation of electron-deficient alcohols such as polyhaloalkylmethanols. Inductive effect of the substituent of TEMPO is discussed through the characterization of the redox potential of N-O radical by cyclic voltammetry.

Highly electrophilic dichlorofluoromethyl aryl ketones were obtained by oxidation of dichlorofluoromethyl aryl alcohols. Subsequent dechlorination of these ketones using sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate (Rongalite) and reductive dehalogenating system SnCl2/Al led to various fluoromethyl aryl ketones and chlorofluoromethyl aryl ketones, respectively. Asymmetric reductions of these fluorinated ketones using the inexpensive baker's yeast produced the corresponding fluoromethyl aryl alcohols with different enantioselectivities.
