N,N’-Dibromo-N,N’ 1,2-ethanediylbis(benzenesulphonamide) (BNBBS): a Safe, Neutral and Efficient Reagent for the Oxidation of Primary and Secondary Alcohols to Corresponding Carbonyl Compounds under Mild Conditions
Abstract
Efficient oxidation of various types of structurally diverse alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds can be carried out with N,N’-dibromo-N,N’-1,2-ethanediylbis(benzenesulphonamide) in good to high yield of products in CH2Cl2 at room temperature. Primary (aliphatic, benzylic and allylic) alcohols are oxidized with no over-oxidation to carboxylic acids.
Keywords: Oxidation, alcohols, carbonyl compounds, N,N’-dibromo-N,N’–1,2-ethanediylbis(benzenesulphonamide).
