ways and the resulted materials have been tested as heterogeneous oxidation catalyst of
three benzylic alcohols using air as final oxidant and nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate as
cocatalyst. Good to excellent yields were obtained. The catalytic system consists in fact in
two coupled cycles, NO/NO 2 and TEMPO+/TEMPO, able to convert under mild conditions
(room temperature, air, metal and halogen free condition) alcohols into aldehydes or …
