A Simple and Highly Practical Oxidation of Primary Alcohols to Acids Mediated by 2,2,6,6‐Tetramethyl‐1‐piperidinyloxy (TEMPO).

Primary alcohols were quantitatively oxidized in one-pot to acids via 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) mediated oxidation. The reported method is simple and suitable for large scale synthesis.
