An efficient and simple method for selective oxidation of secondary alcohols and oxidation of alkanes to ketones is reported. An in situ prepared catalyst is employed based on manganese(II) salts, pyridine-2-carboxylic acid, and butanedione, which provides good-to-excellent conversions and yields with high turnover numbers (up to 10 000) with H2O2 as oxidant at ambient temperatures. In substrates bearing multiple alcohol groups, secondary alcohols are converted to ketones selectively and, in general, benzyl C-H oxidation proceeds in preference to aliphatic C-H oxidation. Manganeasy! MnII, picolinic acid, and butanedione make a smart mix for oxidation of secondary alcohols and alkanes and especially benzylic groups to ketones at room temperature with near stoichiometric amounts of hydrogen peroxide, low catalyst loadings, and high turn-over numbers.
