The disproportionation of alcohols without an additional reductant and oxidant to simultaneously form alkanes and aldehydes/ketones represents an atom-economical transformation. However, only limited methodologies have been reported, and they suffer from a narrow substrate scope or harsh reaction conditions. Herein, we report that alcohol disproportionation can proceed with high efficiency catalyzed by iodide under acidic conditions. This method exhibits high functional group tolerance including aryl alcohol derivatives with both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups, furan ring alcohol derivatives, allyl alcohol derivatives, and dihydric alcohols. Under the optimized reaction conditions, a 49% yield of 5-methyl furfural and a 49% yield of 2,5-diformylfuran were obtained simultaneously from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. An initial mechanistic study suggested that the hydrogen transfer during this redox disproportionation occurred through the inter-transformation of HI and I2. Radical intermediates were involved during this reaction.

Several cis-dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes with Schiff bases-derived ligands were synthesized and fully characterized. The catalytic performances of these complexes were tested in the alcohol oxidation under solvent-free condition using H2O2 as oxidant giving high results. The influence of the oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen atom within the coordination sphere around the molybdenum center was studied (S?>?N?>?O). From this study, we suggest that there exists a relationship between the electronegativity of the atom and the catalytic performance in alcohol oxidation.
