- Practical Cu(OAc)2/TEMPO-catalyzed selective aerobic alcohol oxidation under ambient conditions in aqueous acetonitrile
-
We reported a ligand-and additive-free Cu(OAc)2/TEMPO catalyst system that enables efficient and selective aerobic oxidation of a broad range of primary and secondary benzylic alcohols, primary and secondary 1-heteroaryl alcohols, cinnamyl alcohols, and aliphatic alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones. This ambient temperature oxidation protocol is of practical features like aqueous acetonitrile as solvent, ambient air as the terminal oxidant, and low catalyst loading, presenting a potential value in terms of both economical and environmental considerations. Based on the experimental observations, a plausible reaction mechanism was proposed.

- Process for producing trifluoromethylbenzylamines
-
The present invention relates to a process for producing a trifluoromethylbenzylamine represented by the general formula (1). This process includes the step of reducing an oxime represented by the general formula (2), where R1represents hydrogen atom, a halogen atom selected from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, or trifluoromethyl group, where R1is defined as above, and R2represents hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an aralkyl group. With this process, the trifluoromethylbenzylamine can be produced with high selectivity.
