E. Steves, Shannon S. StahlTwo
solutions, one consisting of bpy/TEMPO/NMI and the other bpy/ABNO/NMI
(bpy =2,2′-bipyridyl; TEMPO = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine N-oxyl, ABNO = 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane N-oxyl; NMI = N-methylimidazole), in acetonitrile
are shown to have good long-term stability (≥1 year) under
air at 5 °C. The solutions may be combined in appropriate quantities
with commercially available [Cu(MeCN)4]OTf to provide a
convenient catalyst system for the aerobic oxidation of primary and
secondary alcohols.
