Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>An effective transition‐metal‐free catalytic system is developed for aerobic oxidations of alcohols. Using catalytic amount of bromide‐bromate coupling, H₂SO₄, and NaNO₂, together with 2, 2, 6, 6‐tetramethylpiperidine <italic>N</italic>‐oxyl radical (TEMPO) in the presence of air, various alcohols could be converted into the corresponding aldehydes or ketones in good to excellent isolated yields under mild conditions.</p> </abstract>
