Conclusions
-
1.
The formation of cycloalkoxy, α-hydroxycycloalkyl, and ω-formylalkyl radicals in the oxidation of secondary cycloalkanols by Pb(OAc)4 was recorded by an EPR method in the presence of spin traps.
-
2.
In the presence of the Pb(OAc)4-Cu(II) system, the ability of secondary cyclic alcohols to undergo oxidative decyclization with the formation of ω-alkenals decreases in the series cyclopentanol > cycloheptanol > cyclohexanol > cyclooctanol.
