- oleyl alcohol mesylate. The deprotection of the primary alcohol with cerium salts, produced the key intermediate 32.6. Finally, the phosphocholine group was installed via the use of the 2-chloro-2-oxo-1,2,3-dioxaphospholane (32.7) to produce (S)-32.8. The last two examples illustrated the incorporation

- , Universitätstraße 31, D-93053 Regensburg, Germany 10.3762/bjoc.17.121 Abstract We have developed a cerium-photocatalyzed aerobic oxidation of primary and secondary benzylic alcohols to aldehydes and ketones using inexpensive CeCl3·7H2O as photocatalyst and air oxygen as the terminal oxidant. Keywords: alcohol
- ; aldehydes; cerium; oxidation; ketones; visible light; Introduction The selective oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds [1][2] is an important process for producing a wide range of value-added fine chemicals [3][4][5][6]. In the traditional oxidation process stoichiometric amounts of oxidants such as
- benzylic alcohol selectively to the aldehyde or ketone is still desirable. Recently, cerium photocatalysis was introduced as a robust alternative to generate oxygen or carbon-centered radicals under mild reaction conditions [57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64]. CeCl3 reacts via ligand-to-metal charge transfer

- (PMB) from the nitrogen, the methyl 1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]isothiazole-3-carboxylate-2,2-dioxide (10a) was treated with cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) according to a previously developed protocol [18][20]. Unexpectedly, this PMB resisted its removal, and the only formed product was
