Abstract

Action of a novel oxidation system, Ce(NO3)3·6H2O (cat.)-LiBr (cat.)-H2O2 (stoichiometric oxidant) on primary aliphatic C6–C9 alcohols gives selectively esters, whereas secondary aliphatic C5–C9 alcohols are converted into ketones. Selectivity of these transformations is provided by slow addition of H2O2 to the other reactants.
